Jeremy’s Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Letter Sequence Week!
Identify the following subset of the alphabet: AEILNORSTU
So this one's a little harder then?
That's how it goes....and given how many people pretty easily got yesterday's, there's really only one way to go. After today, you have to get a little creative to figure them out.
How about a hint?
No.
Okay, so how about yesterday's?
Of course. As correctly stated by 2 people on the Blag, and at least 7 others on Sametime, yesterday's alphabet subset (CDILMVX) are all of the letters used as Roman Numerals. Apparently, after you get to the thousands, there's a strange series of lines that you put over the letters to multiply their values, and once you get to roughly a million, there is no consistant pattern. I learned this on Wikipedia, so you know it's true.

It rearranges to U NORSE TAIL !
No actually these are all the most frequently used letters in the english alphabet, hence why RSTLNE are the given letters for the end puzzle on wheel of fortune.
Jeff = Wrong
You're on the right track, but it's not quite the answer we're looking for. Please try again.
They are the letters in the game Scrabble which are worth 1 point each.
PS I went to this site http://www.solfire.com/scrabble/
and put AEILNORSTU in and it gave the points per letter. So I kind of cheated a little so don't hold it against me.It is the first time in my long life that I did something like that and I am truly sorry. I am kneeling on Grapenuts cereal for a punishment right now.
UM EXCUSE ME
The fact that they are 1 point per scrabble letter is precisely because they are the most frequently used letters. What do you have to say to that, you norse tail?
