Welcome
Hi, thank you for visiting.
If you love challenges and puzzles you have come to the right place.
In the 80s, as a teen, I created a secret code based on digital roots.
To find a digital root, all the numbers in a string are added together repeatedly until only one digit remains.
eg. 34567 = 25 = 7
I have gone further and included letters and words.
I put numbers to letters A=1 ... Z=26(8)
Now we are starting to create a whole new game.
eg. BRI 7721 = 1 and ELVIS = 4
Along the way I found hacks and quirks.
