2530. The code for a word is found by adding its letter values, multiplying that total by the word length, and then adding the value of its first letter. CODE has code 111. What is the code for MATE?

Hard
  • A. 156
  • B. 165
  • C. 169
  • D. 172

Correct answer: 169

2531. For a four-letter word, arrange the letters from highest to lowest alphabet position, then join their positions together. How is LAMP encoded?

Very hard
  • A. 1613121
  • B. 1612131
  • C. 1316121
  • D. 1613112

Hard
  • A. RHSU
  • B. U RHS
  • C. HSUR
  • D. RSHU

Explanation: The opposites of FISH are U, R, H, S. Moving the first of these to the end produces RHSU.
