Opposites
Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
In the following code, each symbol stands for one of five letters.
+ stands for I, J, G, A, or M
* stands for N, B, P, Q, or W
= stands for R, U, C, X, or T
& stands for H, E, K, Z, or Y
? stands for O, L, F, H, or V
The five letter code word, *?+=&, can be translated into two English words that are opposites. What are the two words?
Answer
White and Black.

| I wonder why "H" is coded twice and D & S are left out.
Otherwise, great teaser.
Took me forever to get it!  |

| Good one, but I cheated. I copied the lists, then put them in order of the code, so I could scan down them to try forming words. Nice job though!  |

| Paul...how's that cheating...I can't think how else you would do it (although in this case I noticed "W" and "B" were both in the first letter, so I guessed the answer easily enough). |

| I just never understand these. I do not know what is expected. It must be new math and I am out of the loop on that.  |
