Letters to numbers (Posted on 2004-02-13) Difficulty: 3 of 5
64 = M
3 = R
154___ = DP
3 = R
50= N

What number goes in the blank? (Hint: It's not 84!)

Note that 3 = R appears twice. Also, the title refers to the method of encryption.

Whenever a letter appears that looks like a number (for example, 6 instead of G or 0 instead of O) it is replaced by that number. Equal signs go before each leading letter which doesn't have a letter pair.

So, 0 = O, 1 = I, 3 = E, 4 = A, 5 = S, 6 = G, 8 = B. This means the message says:

GAM
ER
ISA___DP
ER
SON

The answer must be a number, so it's obviously 600 or GOO (since I am such a good person) and obviously not 84 or BA.
