Answer
Penin.Each word starts with the first letter of a planet, in order from the sun, and has the rank of distance from the sun spelled backwards added on.
For example, Jevif = Jupiter, five. So the answer is Penin, which stands for Pluto, nine.

Very clever! That riddle is out of this world! j/k You got me on it.
this is quite clever. Great teaser.
Veryt good. I know it is a series puzzle, but it's really 1/2 series (the easy half) and 1/2 science (the hard half).
very good. I like it
i got the numbers part, but the planets was driving me crazy...
this was a great idea. i got the planet part but the numbers stumped me. this was a real challenge
Great Teaser!
I figured out the number part. You got me on the planets. Nice one!
excellent teaser!! You stumped me!
Nice one, I got it but thanks for the early morning brain work-out!
This one had me stumped. Excellent
I also got the numbers pretty quick but couldn't figure out the planets. Good teaser!
good one! one of my favorites
i got the # part but the planet thing was HARD!!!
Great teaser! You totally stumped me! Well done.
This was Great! I was soooo confused on the planets but the numbers was way too easy...
I'm a blonde, so ofcourse I didn't get it, but that was a good one! I never could have come up with something like that! Props!
Very clever! I liked this one!
i got this 1!it was very easy but kinda fun, though it only took me about 5 seconds!
I got the planets right off the bat, but didn't get the numbers.
Had a blinding flash of the obvoius when I saw the answer.

Not very difficult but at least I had to "try". Good Work.
The teaser title (different language) threw me off... I thought it was going to be in some language I didn't know, so I thought I would have no hope. Good job confusing me!
Great teaser, but Pluto is not a planet any longer.
very creative teaser...
Extremely fun and one of my favorite teasers. Well done!!
Clever teaser! well done!
Now, if only I knew my planets!!

Can't believe anybody figured this one out. I think it was very much on the stupid side.That's my opinion. Who agrees with me?
Very nice! i didn't get it at all Although two things are wrong with it. One: Pluto is no longer a planet
Two: Neptune sometimes crosses paths with Pluto so Neptune is sometimes the last planet.
But hey, what where you going to do? have N enin/thgie

Works on the backwards number. However, Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
To me, Pluto will ALWAYS be a planet. As was pointed out elsewhere on this site, a dwarf planet is still a planet.
Come on guys, this teaser was submitted in 2002. Waaaay back when Pluto was still a planet.
Fun, easy teaser.
Fun, easy teaser.
Got the numbers part...didn't fare so well on the planets. Thanks for posting!
I loved this teaser and as far as I'm concerned, Pluto is still a planet.
I too got the numbers part, but couldn't remember that Pluto came next. And I agree with many others when I say Pluto will always be a planet to me.
Throwing in the first letter of planets names is a bit too random
Some people got it so not a bad teaser I guess.

Pluto is a planet, Pluto is a planet, Pluto is a pl....
doehead, you shouldn't be so negative. Just because you didn't get it doesn't make it stupid.
Ditto, Kwel.
I was shocked at all the people who saw the numbers easily but not the planets! For me, it was exactly the opposite; I saw the planets immediately but couldn't see the numbers!! I think I was distracted by the title; as you may infer from my 'handle' I've studied some language and linguistics in my time. I was looking for patterns in the letters being used; reading backwards never occurred to me!!!

omg that one was soooo hard! It totally stumped me, who sits around and thinks of these things?!
I completely agree with doehead
Somebody else who agrees Pluto is still a planet!
I got this one... WOOHOO!! i can proudly rattle off the planets at any given time ( even after bourbon) thanks to knowing these initals like my own.. hehe.. and numbers backwards - fun and my level! Bring it on nice work
I saw the planets immediately, so I knew it started with a P, then I looked at the numbers. I first saw six, then five, then I knew it was Penin. Nice one.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. This one came to me very quickly.
Got the numbers easy, but not the planets!
Pretty easy, but very fun. Took me a few seconds to get the planets part. Just not sure about a Penin next to anything having to do with Uranus! (cue dad joke laugh track)
Too easy for me, since I've seen the planets' initials before. Liked it, though.
Pluto is not considered a planet.
