1=N

3=H

8=G

11=L

20=Y

Given that, why does 5=4?

Hint: You must start from 0 for this puzzle to work.

Hint: You must start from 0 for this puzzle to work.

I tried by taking the letter from the number

like 1=N=ONE

3=H=THREE

8=G=Eight

11=L=Eleven

20=Y=Twenty

Because of above reason 5=F and also 4=F and 5=4

what i don't get is how will i start from zero ?

If i take 0=0 then it might be solved

You came to the same conclusion as someone else on another forum, unfortunately it is wrong.

Think what what letters 0=?

[IHKF 23]

Is it because 5 and 4 have an e and an o?

I.... can't even begin to explain how I reached that conclusion. XD I was thinking way too hard. lol

I'll try.

Going off of what has been figured out by aika I tried to work it out by the letters 0 has.

0=zero

Well One, three, eight, and eleven all have letters that are located as the second letter in the word while Twenty has Y in last place. Zero has e, which it has in common with five, in its second place while the last letter it has is o, which it has in common with four. But that wouldn't make them equal.

As I said before. I was thinking WAY too deeply. XD

okay i'll try from different perspective and edit this post

Hmmm... let me think.

0= zero

5, 4

five, four

take out e, o, r, f

so 5 is V.

This letter V can represent 5 as Roman but 5=4

0 = ?

5 = 4

Let's do the word play:

take out iv out of five. 4

There is Roman numeral inside the word 'five' to represent 5 instead.

So...

let's list out:

I, V

Remainder: F, E

There's e in zero.

And there is two numbers with same letter: F

The alphabet letter F can represent anything.

F,O,U,R and F,I,V,E and Z,E,R,O

let's cross out: O,R,E

Remainders: F,U,I,V,Z

So I guess: zero = E

5 = 4

4 = F

Why I think of this way? I was thinking of Roman numeral: 5 is V, 4 is IV

Those 4 and 5 has roman numerals inside to represent the digit as 5 has Roman numerl of 4

and 4 itself has none but has the letter 'F'.

The reason is there are two same letter and the letter 'E' has appear in the word 'zero', they can't be use as they already mentioned before. There are only one letter to represent and four isn't prime number but five is.

No answers to this yet?

I personally feel that miike's answer is the correct one~ but I'd like to explain in another way.

I feel that the answer is taking out all of the letters from the numbers before that number.

0 = zero.

So 1 = one - zero

= n

So 3 = three - zero - one -two = h

8 = eight - zero - two - three - five ----- = g

(basically all the alphabets that appeared prior to that number.)

11 = eleven -----= l

20 = twenty = y

SO, 5 = five --= IV

Interesting game!

Let me think first...

LOLz

but, I like all their answers...!

[Genghis 13]

0 = ZERO

1 = ONE (O and E have been use already)

2 = TWO (O has been used)

3 = THREE (All but H have been used already)

4 = FOUR

5 = FIVE

Since 4 = IV (Roman numerals)

5 = IV

5 = 4

No credit to me too? :V at least I got the correct explanation~ XD

Nahhhh joking~

You're right, somehow I didn't read your post.

Out of all the people I gave this puzzle to, only the two of you got it. I guess all of that detective conan has trained you guys
