Brunolem Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) While you were away, your Thai girlfriend or wife sent you the following cryptic message: SEND + MORE ________ MONEY To find how much she wants, you need to replace the letters with digits. One letter = one digit, if E = 1 then all Es = 1 My father gave me this puzzle decades ago when I was in high school. Little did he know how prescient he was... Please REFRAIN from looking for the answer on internet, and from posting it... Edited October 3, 2018 by Brunolem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 You could just ask her or you could ignore the message until she brings it up again. Why would anybody spend time trying to figure out how much money she wants? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anybody spend time trying to figure out how much money she wants? Easy, peasy…..she wants more than she can spend. Only those with a set income and boundaries have a chance of answering.

On the contrary, they're quite mysterious and enigmatic. Most don't have the ability to recognize as such, as they're too busy attempting to place Thai lasses into something they're not. The obvious connections and misunderstanding derive from the usual circle. Suckers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post remorhaz Posted October 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2018 The answer is in the request. SEND MORE MONEY. If you send 100,000 BAHT read the message again... MORE. If you send 2 million BAHT then you should send MORE. Mathematically speaking this is equal to infinity + 1 . 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 No, because the OP has not specified whether the MONEY component is a result or a denominator. Personally, I'd go for the denominator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, we deal with additions going from the right to the left, but in this case it has to be the opposite. Once M is found, it is quite easy to find O...after it gets more complicated...

As an example...to explain that once you have found which digit replaces a given letter, you can replace all these letters with the digit. In this case, since someone found that M = 1, it means that the M in "more" and the M in "money" can be replaced with the digit 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
