The Best of Cluenatic

Cluenatic is a mindsport that lets you decode a lot about a personality by unraveling four clues: a) the lateral clue b)the name clue c) the trivia clue and d) the fame clue. I formulated this game in 2004. I ran it as a daily game on yahoo groups. I set nearly 300 puzzles. A kind soul named Chandramouli pitched in with the rest. This blog will serve as a repository for some of the better cluenatic puzzles. To see the answer, just click the comment link.

LATERAL CLUE: Femsh = Fem is half female. Sh is half fish. So Femsh is half female, half fish.
NAME CLUE: Unheathen Consultant = Heathen is non christian. Ergo Unheathen is Christian. Andersen Consulting was one of the Big 6 consultants. Therefore unheathen consultant can be decoded as Christian Andersen.
TRIVIA CLUE: Kaminski = Daniel Kaminski was the real name of Danny Kaye the actor.
FAME CLUE: Repulsive = Ugly Duckling.
PERSONALITY: What connects Half-female-half-fish, Christian Andersen, Danny Kaye & Ugly Duckling? The connection is Hans Christian Andersen the man who wrote fairy tales like Little Mermaid (half fish & half female) & Ugly Duckling. Danny Kaye played Hans in the 1952 movie 'Hans Christian Andersen'.
