Consonants are coded as the numerical values of their opposite letters. Vowels are coded as the square of their numerical values. ‘VARIOUS’ is coded as ‘519812254418’ V: Opposite letter → E → 5 A: 12 → 1 R: Opposite letter → I → 9 I: 92 → 81 O: 152 → 225 U: 212 → 441 S: Opposite letter → H → 8 |
Similarly, for 'PENSION': P: Opposite letter → K → 11 E: 52 → 25 N: Opposite letter → M → 13 S: Opposite letter → H → 8 I: 92 → 81 O: 152 → 225 N: Opposite letter → M → 13 Hence, the code is 11251388122513 |
