What is this:
Whenever things go awry, you'll have to look-out for him/her/it, and he/she/it may help you.



enter image description here


HINT:

The first picture shows Dhanush, the singer of the viral youtube video song "Kolaveri Di". Dig deeper and you'll find the answer.

  • $\begingroup$ So is this basically a 4 Pics 1 word puzzle (like the mobile game, in which all the pictures relate to one word)??? $\endgroup$

The answer might be

Control-Alt-Delete


Explanation

Image 1:

THREE (The song "Kolaveri Di" is from a Tamil psychological thriller film called "3".)

Image 2:

FINGER (potato fingers)

Image 3:

SALUTE

Image 4:

KEYS (piano keys)

Conclusion:

1. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-finger_salute, "Three-finger salute" is a jocular term for the three-key command Control-Alt-Delete.
2. Whenever things go awry with my PC, I reboot it by Control-Alt-Delete.
3. Control-Alt-Delete came up in the 1980s with the MS-DOS operating system.

    $\begingroup$ I found this puzzle quite difficult. Already yesterday I had the vague idea that this might be related to a computer keyboard ("since the 80s" plus piano "keys"), but only today I was able to make the right connections. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Interesting. I've never even heard of the phrase "potato fingers", before. Never would have guessed it. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 11, 2016 at 13:59

    $\begingroup$ Funny, I would have thought that "potato fingers" was a term that would apply to someone that requires a "dialing wand". $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 11, 2016 at 17:44

First image might refer to... CONFIRMED

Three, from 3, the movie that "Why This Kolaveri Di" features in.

Second image could be...

Fries, McDonalds, M, french fries

Third may be...

Hitler, heil, leader, Third Reich, Fuhrer

Fourth may be...

Piano, keys, ivory, keyboard

  • $\begingroup$ The third may also refer to Nazi or salute. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 10, 2016 at 20:28
  • $\begingroup$ atleast two of the three remaining clues are already there in all the guesses combined, between @feelinferrety and the comments $\endgroup$
