If each letter represents a digit and all ten digits are to be included in the above equation.
Can you find the arrangement of digits that would satisfy the equation? (TEN does not mean T x E x N. It represents the places the digits take)

After about five minutes, they pass another sign, which reads, "Golf Road". As soon as they pass it, the man turns to his wife and says he knows what the next sign will say, and that he'll bet her twenty dollars that he's right. She agrees, and they drive on. After passing the next road sign, the wife finds that her husband is right, and hands him twenty dollars.
What did the last sign say and how did the man know?
__________
The key was that he was a retired air force pilot.
The military, and other organizations, use words to represent letters when talking via radio, etc, to avoid confusion of the many similar sounding letters.
The international standard for this is the NATO alphabet:
Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot Golf Hotel India Juliet Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey Xray Yankee Zulu The one for F is Foxtrot, which is the name of a comic in the paper. Golf is for G. The one for H is hotel, so, seeing the pattern of Foxtrot and Golf, he correctly guessed Hotel Road.
It said Hotel Road. Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel - it's all part of NATO's code for letters of the alphabet.Quote:
