   • A6
   • B9
   • C7
   • D8

   The value is the sum of the letter positions: C(3) + A(1) + B(2) = 6. BAD is 2 + 1 + 4 = 7.

   In a code, GO is written as TL. How is ME written?

   • ANV
   • BLD
   • COV
   • DNW
   Ver respuesta

   Each letter is swapped with its "opposite" letter, so the two positions add up to 27: G(7)→T(20), O(15)→L(12). M(13)→N(14) and E(5)→V(22).

7. Pregunta 7 de 16

   In a code, "blue car park" is written "ki lo ma", "red car wash" is written "ta ki su", and "blue sky" is written "ma re". Words may be coded in any order. What is the code for "park"?

   • Aki
   • Bma
   • Clo
   • Dta
   Ver respuesta

   Respuesta: C. lo

   "car" is in the first two phrases, and only "ki" is in both codes. "blue" is in the first and third, so it is "ma". That leaves "lo" for "park".

   Two steps: move each letter forward one (BOX→CPY), then write it backwards (YPC). HAT→IBU→UBI.

9. Pregunta 9 de 16

   • D6183
   Ver respuesta
