Double check the second to last number. Almost there.katmandew89 wrote:My wife and I have both been stuck on this one for almost a month, we give up. I'll list my process below. I'd love for someone to contact me directly and just tell me the answer. It's not fun anymore...
So the goal is to find the number of letters that's in between the top and bottom letters and then add all of those together. If I add them properly I get 42 (17+21+15+14+(-8)+(-6)+3+(-14)). If I treat the negative numbers as positive, I get 54. The site accepts neither of these.

After reading all the posts in this thread, including the complete answer, I can only conclude that there is an error. I have checked my math over and over. The answer is a two-digit number that is one bigger than it should be.
Re: Page 19
To be honest, I got this one by using the wrong method and ignoring the numbers on the page.
