20220105  Room at the Table

 The puzzles in January are about friendship.

This week’s puzzle takes a bit of math and a backwards alphabet to solve.  The cipher that spells out angels is given below and there’s a * between words.  Good Luck

11/15   6/7   8/12   4/18   7/8   3/5  =  angels

3/4   9/10   4/18   4/5   7/15 ‘  3/5   *  11/15  7/8  1/3  12/14  1/1  2/6   *   3/6  3/9  4/8  6/8   *   6/15  2/10  2/7   *   3/9  6/7  5/17  *  6/8  4/8  4/5  4/18  *  12/14  2/5   *  1/6  8/11  7/15  *  3/4  10/16  12/13  7/8  4/18. 

Each letter in the cipher is represented by a fraction. To solve the puzzle:

Add the numbers in the fraction together.  6/8 =14, 12/13=25, 2/10=12

Write the alphabet backwards Z to A,

Give each letter a number and solve the puzzle 14=M, 25=B, 12=O

Here is the solution to this week’s cipher:

There’s always room for one more at the table
