FIRST ONE TO COMMENT, TOO COOL. I DID LIKE THIS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T GET IT I GOT THE ADDING THING RIGHT THOUGH
Hmm..... let me say it was an OK teaser for me
I liked this one , but did I miss something? When I looked at the answer what was the Z, X, etc? Guess my mind is not working very well, totally stumped me
Redraptor start counting from Z instead of A as the first letter so if Z is 1 and X is 2 and Y is 3 then A is 26 B is 25 or something like that i hope i am right.
Easier than many, but cute.
Why did I add a comment here? I'm the author!
By a strange coincidence, if you go A=1, B=2 ... Z=26, Matt still equals 54!
