Some of you may have heard of the riddles from 'Alice in Wonderland'. They are difficult to figure out, and I found a riddle inside a riddle. I think it's just coincidence, so, imo, it belongs here. =P Check it out:
Part of one of the riddles has a requirement that the King must bring different types of people in different amounts. The numbers are seven, ten, five and nine.
The first number, seven, begins with an S, which is the 19th letter of the alphabet.
The second number, ten, begins with a T, which is the 20th letter of the alphabet.
The third number, five, begins with an F, which is the 6th letter of the alphabet.
The fourth number, nine, begins with an N, which is the 14th letter of the alphabet.
If you add the 'ths' together (19+20+6+14), it equals 59. Not a significant number, right?
Then, subtract the actual numbers from 59. So, the sum would be 59-7-10-5-9. This equals 28.
The author of this riddle is Louis Carroll (actually a psuedonym), which has 12 letters in it. Subtract 12 from 28, which leaves 16.
The answer of the riddle is also 16.
