Can You Find the Word?
If you give each letter of a word into its alphabetical position, you can then add these digits, or you can multiply them. For example CART = 3, 1, 18, 20. Adding gives 42 and multiplying gives 1080.
Can you find a word which has the same total whether you add them or multiply them?

um, ok
This is a great teaser. Brilliant idea!
i thought it was supercalafragalisticexpialadocous then the math got too hard
lol I did just the opposite; I guessed it was the word "a" but then I felt I'd cheated somehow...
lol......I tought it was also the WORD "A" ... anywayss.....it was a Good Joke after all!
i finally get it, i thot it wanted another word that adds up to 42 (i think it was 42) and multiplies up to 1080 or w/e. but then i re-read it, and got it, but i said "I"....
Brilliant Teaser!I Liked it very much!
yeah i went with "i" too, but didn't really think that was the answer
Not the best teaser ever, I was expecting some better word. Cab just seemed kinda dull, and hard to figure out. I kept trying words like (same, product, right, correct) ya know, ironic words. I guess was over-thinking, or over-estimating, or something. oh well. ok teaser, i suppose
i thought it was....
what about "a"
i got "cab"
needs clarification for those who lazily chose "a"
