0 Guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Can this be explained briefly for future reference as I don't where I botched? For this puzzle, 16, 6 1, 15, 16 16, 6, 11, 5, 15 11 9, 4 14 4, 14 Addition is grand, subtraction divine Text in your answer While I'm still on the line You knew that the numbers represented letters. It would have been too simple to number 1-26 as A-Z .So as the clue was to imply something had to be subtracted the word "text" was also a hint. Letting you know that the words were not spelled out in their entirety and as like many text messages....I was hopeing someone would deduce....that is was the vowels that were taken out. If the alphabet was layed out, - the vowels, the numbers would correspond with letters that, even though not spelled out completely would give the answer. Give it a try right now and see it in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
