Answer 3

just put a=1 b=2......z=26in the sentence and add them up

Answer 4

After this, it has been asked what do u think the number of meanings will be if the whole sentence can be shuffled keeping the number of letters in each word constant.......

i.e.

after can become zimba or anything else....

this is the worst part of the question

Answer 5

@vamgadu

that was what I did...
but what about the second part.


Remember its a challenge question

Answer 6

mmm

Answer 7

where did you find this question? type the entire 2nd part

Answer 8

this is the second part.............

that i typed in my last comment

Answer 9

then, the number of meanings wont change. right? I mean from what we understand of this question so far, the number of meanings should not change.

Answer 10

but what if we reshuffle each word creating many different sentences............ so total number of meanings of all the sentences will change

Answer 11

i mean

total meanings = meanings of one sentence + meanings of other sentence +..........

Answer 12

nope, as long as the letters in the sentence are not changed, how many times ever you shuffle, the number of meanings should not change.

Answer 13

but i think that total number of meanings = number of meanings we calculated in first part *(number of ways we can arrange the letters to form new sentences)
