As for the previous 7 incarnations of our “____Quations” series of puzzle caches, seekers must determine the missing words that begin with the capital letters on the right side of each equation. For example, the missing words in “26 = L of the A” are “Letters” and “Alphabet.”
A. 8 = P of the M
B. 1 = T O the L
C. 4 = P on a P T
D. 7 = B for S B
E. 54.6 = M K to M
F. 68 = H S Q
G. 124 = M in T W of O
H. 150 = C in the B of P
These equations are in the genres of Entertainment, Music, Religion, Science and Sports.
When you’ve figured out all the missing words in equations A through H, determine the alpha-sum of the missing words in each equation. To do this for each missing word, convert each letter to its place in the alphabet (ie. A=1 … Z=26) and sum these numbers.
Find the last four digits of the N minutes by subtracting 826,925,733 from the product of A through D, and dividing the result by 1000.
Find the last four digits of the W minutes by subtracting 3,874,047,726 from the product of E through H, and dividing the result by 1000.
