Remember
“Unique and restricted” ? ,b (pid=13696)
There I have asked for a restricted answer to an alphametic puzzle and got a set of many words.
Now I have fiddled with a similar equation and again will allow only answers not using any of the letters appearing in “TWELVE”.
TWELVE + TWELVE = (Oompha, grubby, payoff, droppy ….et al)
Your task is to find an answer to my puzzle such that adding the numerical values of all 6 letters in the word chosen by you (a long list of candidate solutions) will be closest to 24.
Start your chase.
Good luck!
You have 23 links in a gold chain (just like before), and will pay one link per day to someone. Which two chain pieces should you break in order to pay this person?
What would be the longest chain you could have in order to pay this person (one each day) by breaking 3 pieces in the chain?
Is there a rule for how many days you could pay someone under the same circumstances if you could break x pieces in the chain?
