Word-sum puzzle: letters to numbers

💨 How many people are needed to guarantee that there is always someone farting somewhere?

🔠 If you match each letter with the corresponding number in the alphabet and add them together, which words add up to 100.

🏁 And there is some unfinished business.

Head to our socials for pictures of Matt’s Homemade Sea Salt and Bec’s Brilliant Branding, an assortment of Massive Hourglasses, the beautiful sketch of Bec, and a smiley jerk on the beach in the sunshine 🌅

Here is the full list of words that add up to 100 (and do be warned that it contains some words that may not be suitable for young eyes)

If you have a suggestion of dates for us to do a Rock Special and a Tooth Special,, go to the Problem Posing Page at aproblemsquared.com and select ‘Solution’ and do mention ‘International Teeth Day’

See Matt on tour in 2026!
