Default Re: really hard puzzle, noone has solved yet...

I don't even understand how you guys got OMG. RED looks straightforward: A=20 and go from there, but CAT looks like A=30 but with a 231 ordering, then ANT A=38 but with a 213 ordering. MAN A=44 and goes back to the orignal 123 ordering, TWO A=54 with another 231 ordering. So presumably the next ordering will be 213. Fine, whatever. But what the hell kind of sequence is: 20, 30, 38, 44, 54....? Add 10, add 8, add 6, repeat? Let me try 62 I guess. Oh. That works. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
