Example: What is the answer to the sum below, written as a letter?

A = 5, B = 14, C = 12, D = 13, E = 3
A + C – E = ?

A
B
C
E

Answer: The correct answer is B. If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 5 + 12 – 3, which = 14. 14 = B.
1 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

M = 4, A = 8, T = 3, E = 6
E x M ÷ A + T
M
A
T
E
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 6 x 4 ÷ 8 + 3, which = 6. 6 = E
2 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

P = 4, A = 2, N = 32, T = 8
N x A ÷ T x P
P
A
N
T
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 32 x 2 ÷ 8 x 4, which = 32. 32 = N. Interesting number alert! On average, an adult has 32 teeth
3 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

M = 3, O = 8, L = 2, E = 14
E - M x L - O
M
O
L
E
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 14 - 3 x 2 - 8, which = 14. 14 = E
4 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

L = 9, A = 2, N = 1, D = 72
D ÷ L - N + A
L
A
N
D
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 72 ÷ 9 - 1 + 2, which = 9. 9 = L. Interesting number alert! 9 is a square number. In the times tables, it is easy to work out 9 times anything. If you want 7 x 9, take one away from the first number and see how many it will take to make that number up to nine. (6 x 9, take one less = 5, 5 + 4 = 9. Answer 54.) It works every time!
5 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

P = 11, L = 2, A = 19, N = 4
A - N x L - P
P
L
A
N
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 19 - 4 x 2 - 11, which = 19. 19 = A
6 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

M = 52, O = 5, N = 2, K = 13
M ÷ K x N + O
M
O
N
K
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 52 ÷ 13 x 2 + 5, which = 13. 13 = K. Interesting number alert! 13 is a prime number. In our culture, 13 is also considered unlucky. Many hotels and restaurants do not have tables or rooms with the number 13
7 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

A = 22, R = 2, C = 3, H = 47
H - A x R - C
A
R
C
H
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 47 - 22 x 2 - 3, which = 47. 47 = H
8 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

M = 3, O = 2, P = 20, E = 17
E + M x O ÷ P
M
O
P
E
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 17 + 3 x 2 ÷ 20, which = 2. 2 = O. Interesting number alert! Two is the only even prime number
9 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

P = 20, I = 5, N = 45, E = 9
N - P ÷ I x E
P
I
N
E
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 45 - 20 ÷ 5 x 9, which = 45. 45 = N. In geometry, the name of a 45-sided shape is known as a tetracontakaipentagon
10 .
What is the answer to the sum, written as a letter?

N = 8, E = 17, W = 42, T = 6
W - N ÷ E + T
N
E
W
T
If we translate all the letters into numbers, our new sum is 42 - 8 ÷ 17 + 6, which = 42. 42 = N
