0 Guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Adogg, Drexlin, Third: Hmmm, I didn't get any of those solutions. The code is "elementary," yielding a math problem that's stated in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An error exists in puzzle clue (3). In standard notation, the digits of the solution that, when converted to alphabetic letters using A=1 to Z=26 to form a valid English word, are each an ordinal number greater, i.e., the 4th, 7th, 8th, 11th and 13th digit. In addition, this clue fails to identify or hint at which unit is to be used in the solution which does not limit the possiblities that more than one solution may exist. For example, one might form from the digits identified from the present worded clue (3) to form the word DUH. Currently there is no POLSKI link to this word, but there may be a one in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Is this an anagram? No. No anagram (intended). Use Wikipedia to look up "fixed do", find A Romance, see I (i.e., clue (1)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
