NPR Sunday Puzzle (May 30, 2021): A=1, B=2, C=3, …
Q: Name a famous city in 10 letters that contains an “S.” Drop the “S.” Then assign the remaining nine letters their standard value in the alphabet — A = 1, B= 2, C = 3, etc. The total value of the nine letters is only 25. What city is it?
Now that I’ve solved that, I can go back to watching sitcoms.
Edit: I was thinking of “I Love Lucy” which hints at the fossils of Lucy (Australopithecus) found in Ethiopia and housed in a museum in the capital city.
