Lesson One Hundred Twenty-two: Word Sum


Word Sum is another game which mostly involves addition. But it also requires translation. You are presented with a word and you must find its value. In order to do this you must translate each letter of the word into a numeric value using the following translation table.


	A=1			J=10			S=19
	B=2			K=11			T=20
	C=3			L=12			U=21
	D=4			M=13			V=22
	E=5			N=14			W=23
	F=6			O=15			X=24
	G=7			P=16			Y=25
	H=8			Q=17			Z=26
	I=9			R=18

Here's an example:

  WORD: PENCIL

  TRANSLATE:

        P = 16
	E =  5
	N = 14
	C =  3
	I =  9
     +	L = 12
