Short is to 1811010 as skinny is to...

  1. After you solved the puzzle where I just posted the coded message, I thought I would never be able to stump you all again!

    The answer is 6120 (fat). The numerical value of the letters.

  2. >__< I was trying to work out how Short would become 1811010, not thinking that the numbers might be another word. I just feel silly now.

  3. Maybe I'm missing something, but if 6120 spells "fat", then doesn't 1811010 spell "rajj"? Shouldn't the number be 2011212 (tall)?

  5. Any update/clarification on this one? I'm still confused (and perpetually bothered) by it... :)

  6. Hi Tabitha and anonymous. Sorry I kept forgetting to come back and fix this.

    In plain writing, the answer is short is to tall as skinny is to fat.

    If we let a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, e = 5, f = 6, g = 7, h = 8, i = 9, j = 10, k = 11, l = 12, m = 13, n = 14, o = 15, p = 16, q = 17, r = 18, s = 19, t = 20, ...

    And you can see where I messed this one up. Tall should have been: 18, 1, 12, 12 and fat is 6, 1, 20.

    I really need an editor!
