Values of Q and T

If B + P + F = 24, what are the values of Q and T?

Hint: Consider whole numbers only.

A + B = Z
Z + P = T
T + A = F
F + S = Q
Q - T = 7




Answer:

Since A + B = Z and Z + P = T, it follows that A + B + P = T. We also
know that T + A = F, so adding the last two equations and simplifying,
we get 2A + B + P = F. We know that B + P + F = 24, so we have:
24 - B - P = F
2A + B + P = F
24 + 2A = 2F or 12 + A = F
We can replace F with T + A. The equation then becomes 12 + A = T +
A> so T = 12 and therefore Q = 19.

A Two-Dimensional Word Scramble Puzzle

A Word Scramble is a word puzzle game that provides you a group of jumbled letters and wants you to unscramble them to make a real word. As an example, if you get the letters “TBES” you may unscramble them to detect the word “BEST” [Reference: G. R. Roosta, Word Scramble Puzzles, 2010 ASIN: B003A83WA4].

A Two-Dimensional Word Scramble puzzle has two steps. In the first step you solve a couple of regular word scramble puzzles and identify the original words and then in the second step you rearrange a given set of letters from these original words to discover the final word.

Here is a Two-Dimensional Word Scramble Puzzle:

There are seven 7-letter words as follows. Unscramble them and then take the middle letter of each word to make the final answer of this puzzle:

1. WEELYJR
2. YWDKOER
3. TSYMERY
4. OREOTSR
5. TEFNEBI
6. FIRLACY
7. SENSTFA
*


Answer:

1. jewelry
2. keyword
3. mystery
4. rooster
5. benefit
6. clarify
7. fatness

The middle letters of the above words:

   ewtsern

By unscrambling ewtsern, we find the final answer as:

WESTERN
