Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.
I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.
This week’s brain teaser:
HINT: Look closely at the letters. The answer has to do with how you write them.
A = 1, B = 0, C = 1, D = 0, E = X
What does E equal and why?

E =2. The number of openings between the strokes (?)

e=2. number of openings in the letter or placed it’s not connected.

E=2, if you’re looking at openings between strokes.. X in that case = 4, Y=3

Okay, from the looks of things, this is a true toughie and I am not alone in my cluelessness! YAY! On top of everything else, I can’t figure out the hint. As I go for my monthly eye injections today, I’m going to clear my head of anything else that makes it hurt, and good luck to everybody else 🙂
