Just for fun!

Number 1:

1480 = 4
3249 = 2
3252 = 0
8888 = 8
2133 = 0
9200 = 3

What does 6680 equal? And why?

Number 2: Write the following word as it is would be if you said it out loud using the phonetic sounds:

ghoti

Explanation for numbers - if you look at 8, it has two 'holes' in it, 6 has just the one etc.

ghoti = fish

gh as in enough (f sound)

o as in women (i sound)

ti as in nation (sh sound)

The clue is in 8888=8

Its to do with loops rather than numbers...

The system has a flaw if 3252 and 2133 both are 0!
