canu Jul 13, 2004	This teaser does not belong in the math section.
Jimbo Oct 05, 2004	You might have added (if you knew) that the numbers are derived by counting backwards from the end of the alphabet.
Nicky101 Nov 24, 2004	I agree with canu, this belongs with letter-equations. I was stumped. I was thinking of math as in subtraction.
eina_23052 Jan 13, 2005	this was an awesome teaser a bit easy but i dont know what the others are smoking it belongs where it is, if u really think about it, which they obviously didnt
MrLarsonCHS Jan 28, 2005	This is too easy. Since all the letters appear in the problem. The code is easy enough in itself you should ask to spell the word numbers or something that doesn't have all the letters represented already
