0 superprismatic Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 OK, so how did he get the answer 65,49? I am usually good at these, but I can't find the pattern. Explain, please??? Thank you! OK, first let A=1, B=2, C=3, .... , Z=26. Then spell out the positive integers and add the values of the letters in each one. So, ONE = O + N + E = 15 + 14 + 5 = 34, and TWO = T + W + O = 20 + 23 + 15 = 58, etc. The ones Wolfgang asked for were SEVEN and EIGHT: SEVEN = 19 + 5 + 22 + 5 + 14 = 65 EIGHT = 5 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 20 = 49 My post after Molly Mae's was a red herring: he had given 76 (11 more than mine) and 38 (11 less than mine). Whence my 11 comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
