Hard
In a certain secret language, PRIVATE is written as 1234567 and RISK as 2398. How will RIVETS be written in the same language?
Explanation
Explanation
From PRIVATE=1234567: P=1, R=2, I=3, V=4, A=5, T=6, E=7. From RISK=2398: R=2, I=3, S=9, K=8. Therefore RIVETS = R(2), I(3), V(4), E(7), T(6), S(9) = 234769.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
