The judge´s wife (Posted on 2005-12-08) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Edwin is a judge and a numerologist. He is married to a woman whose name:

1) Has a "product" that is the same as that for "JUDGE" using the correspondence of letters and numbers below.
     A-1   B-2   C-3   D-4   E-5   F-6   G-7   H-8   I-9
     J-10  K-11  L-12  M-13  N-14  O-15  P-16  Q-17  R-18
     S-19  T-20  U-21  V-22  W-23  X-24  Y-25  Z-26
2) Has no letter in common with "JUDGE" and has no "C" because 3 is his unlucky number.

3) Has its letters in alphabetical order when the first letter and the second letter are interchanged.

What is the English name of the judge´s wife?

Solution Answer (Spoiler) | Comment 2 of 10 |

J*U*D*G*E = 10*21*4*7*5 = 29400

Prime Factors (1; 2!3; 3; 5!2; 7!2)

Since 7 and 21 are illegal (G and U used) need to combine both 7's with a 2 to make two 14's (N's.)

3 must be combined with remaining 2 to make 6 (F)

5 illegal (E used) so 5's combine to form 25 (Y)

1 gives A

In Alphabetic Order AFNNY. Reversing the first two letters gives the answer FANNY
