The discussion revolves around a game where participants create cryptic clues that hint at the usernames of members from the Physics Forums (PF). Players guess the usernames based on the clues and provide their reasoning. The clues vary in difficulty, with some being straightforward while others are more complex and require deeper associations or knowledge. Examples include clues referencing literary works, scientific terms, and pop culture. Participants actively engage by solving clues, confirming answers, and suggesting new ones, creating a lively and interactive atmosphere. The game encourages creativity and lateral thinking, with players often discussing the rationale behind their guesses and the connections to the usernames. Overall, the thread showcases a fun and intellectual challenge among forum members, fostering community interaction.

Okay, here's a really easy one, but the person whose nickname this refers to isn't allowed to answer (it'll be too obvious to that person).

20. An Ohio zip code.
For a bonus point, name the OTHER "member" who fits the same clue.
