103. Counting Strokes: Value of FAIL Each of the following words has been converted into a number.WAVE = 13TAXI = 8HALT = 10LINK = 9Using the same rule, what number corresponds to the word FAIL? Added 4 February 2009 Show Hint Show Solution Hint: Write the words in block capital letters and count something about the way they are drawn. Solution: In block capitals each straight stroke counts as one unit:W = 4 strokesA = 3 strokesV = 2 strokesE = 4 strokesTherefore WAVE = 4 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 13.Applying the same idea to FAIL:F = 3 strokesA = 3 strokesI = 1 strokeL = 2 strokesFAIL = 3 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 9.The required value is 9.
