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.

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.

Close, but that's not Smurfette. It's Vanity Smurf in a dress. :wink:

I am beginning to think this clue is a flop.

Is the answer flop?

Since nobody seemed to be getting them, the answer to two of mine are:

37. Harry Haller's Indian brother :

siddharth

Hermann Hesse wrote a novel called "Steppenwolf," where the main character's name was Harry Haller. He also wrote a novel called "Siddhartha" where the main character's name was Siddhartha. Since Siddhartha and Harry Haller are both creations of Hesse, he's like their father, so they're like brothers. Siddhartha was Indian of course, so that's how that clue worked. "Siddhartha" and "siddharth" (the PF member) are spelled slightly differently, but I doubt that was throwing anyone off.

35. Some foreigners' request in cold weather :

Borogoves

It's supposed to sound like "borrow gloves." Yeah, it was a bad clue, I know.
