    There is a logical reason why the letters below have been assigned a number value. What is the only letter of the alphabet that would be assigned the value of 1 according to this logic?

    A = 2
    B = 0
    C = 2
    D = 0
    E = 3
    F = 3
    G = 2
    H = 4
    I = 2
    J = 2
    K = 4
    L = 2

    Ms Green, Ms White and Ms Black were taking a stroll together. “isn’t it odd”, said Ms Green, “that our last names match the colour of our dresses yet none of us is wearing a dress whose colour matches our actual name?”
    “So what?”, said the lady in black.
    Give the colour of each lady’s dress.

        thumbup It depends on how you write it, I suppose.

          Oh, very good – I just got it!

          But I think if W = 2 then M = 2 too…

            Absolutely right about that. Don’t know where I was on that one.

            OK as usual, I don’t understand the question…so what is the answer?

              Complete spoiler for those who don’t get it. You were warned…

              It’s the number of line ends

              Well that is another month of Sundays wasted grin

              I was looking at something like the number of line strokes, but that is a cute one
