Scioly Assassination 81: The End of the World

[Assassinator]

It seems the officers are actually adept at solving clues. Nice job.

140 or 180 take your pick.

I hope you enjoy this one. I made it extra hard.
But quickly solve it. I'm still giving you only one day.

I protect myself since 140 and 180 are IQ limits defined by two different people for genius.

[Squanto]

In case that's not right, I feel that there is more to the clue. The last one was kind of just that simple, but he said this one was hard.

The two scientists who determined the IQ score for a genius Lewis Terman, and Leta Hollingworth.

I need someone to protect

Could the switched letter capitalization in "cLUE" be of any relevance?

[Squanto]

I've looked at that and haven't found any leads.

[TheGenius]

I'm fairly certain that 140 and 180 point to genius. However, "cLUE", "1", and "2" could point somewhere else entirely.

[Squanto]

I agree with you, but red herrings are not unheard of. And the lack of response from the Assassinator makes me think otherwise.

[TheGenius]

The officers should protect now while they can. The assassinator appears to be eating dinner.

I protect EASTstroudsburg13 due to their being four capitalized letters and I feel it is possible to morph them into EAST.
