No Takers? OK it was Spirit and her in the Feedback forum wanting/asking to become a moderator. BD

Take over whoever!

I think it needs to be name-based alone. Not everyone reads all threads.

Clue: (Z - G) cat (ASC('D') -64)

*BD scratching his head and wondering*

HINT: This is not in a programming language. It is symbolic only.

My ASC() function returns the ASCII value of the string.

cat performs concatenation.

Use Google for the rest.

If you guys want a clue, just ask!

Do you want it written in Perl? Basic? C++? JavaScript? Java? Lisp? COBOL? (Okay, not the last two)

Here's a hint: Think about the letters' positions in the alphabet.

Hmmmm, let's check the Members list. Anyone called "24?" Anyone called Jeff Gordon? Hmmmm...nope.

You have the right Idea. Go to the members list and find a match...

Coach?

bitchen · Aug 13, 2001

No. "24" isn't the answer to the symbolic equation, but it's close.

Correct answer! You went too far with the left side:

Z-G = 26th pos - 7th pos = 19th pos = S
-or- Z-G = S

S cat 68-64 = S cat 4 = S4

Very well done.

Just for acedemic sake:

(Z - G) cat (ASC('D') -64)

' VisualBasic Clue
' by bitchen for krusty

'get the numeric offset for capital alphabet
offset = asc("A") - 1 'subtract 1 so "A" is in position 1

string1 = chr( (asc( "Z") - offset) - (asc( "G") - offset) )
string2 = asc("D") - 64
print string1 & string2 & vbCrLf
