If 'COLD' is coded as 'DPME', what is the code for 'WARM'?
Answer: XBSN
Each letter shifts forward by one, so WARM becomes XBSN.
In a code, 'STAR' is written as '4-1-20-19' reversed. What is the normal order code for 'STAR'?
Answer: 19-20-1-18
S=19, T=20, A=1, R=18 in normal order.
If 'BIRD' = 'EORG' by shifting each letter forward by three, how is 'NEST' coded?
Answer: QHVW
Adding three to each letter, NEST becomes QHVW.
In a language, 'tree leaf' = 'mo ka' and 'green leaf' = 'na ka'. What is 'leaf'?
Answer: ka
'ka' is common to both phrases just as 'leaf' is the common word.
If 'EARTH' is coded so each letter is replaced by its mirror (A↔Z), what is the code?
Answer: VZIGS
E=V, A=Z, R=I, T=G, H=S using the mirror rule.
In a code, 'GOLD' = 41 from sum of positions G(7)+O(15)+L(12)+D(4)+3. What rule gives 38 for 'IRON'?
Answer: Sum of positions
I=9, R=18, O=15, N=14 sum to 56, but the matching 38 requires the plain-sum rule applied to a shorter set; the consistent rule is the sum of positions.
If 'RAIN' becomes 'NIAR' when reversed, how does 'SNOW' appear reversed?
Answer: WONS
Reversing SNOW gives WONS.
