Using the standard alphanumeric code A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on, what word is
represented by the sequence 312125? Observe, for example, that “121” can be
“ABA” or “AU” or “LA.”
For an additional challenge, but no prize, find another word that also fits
the above criteria. Remember, you have an extra day in February to work on the
Challenge, as it is Leap Year!
Please e-mail Lester Dickey with
your answer and your name, phone number, and the organization for which you
work. Or call Barbara Buck at 624-9501. The winner will be drawn from all the
correct entries and will receive a FREE donated pizza, either from CJ’s Pizza or
from the EDOC Cafeteria. All answers must be in no later than the 14th of the
month.
Last
month's challenge brought 125 submissions, with all being correct answers.
The winner, chosen by random drawing, is Billie Beasley of MDOT.
The answers to last month’s Challenge: There would be 24 of each coin. I hope
you have a large pocket! The extra challenge could have several answers but the
smallest number of pennies would be 10, with 19 quarters and nickels and 38
dimes.
