Riddle me this...?

Question

If A is 2 and B is 3 and F is 8, how high must you count to get to heaven?

Answer 1

Firstly, you have to figure out why the pattern starts at two and appears to skip an additional number by time it hits 'f'.

The only solution to this quandry I could come up with was that it skipped a number on vowels, since 'a' is a vowel the numbers start at two and it skips an additional number at 'e' making the number eight when it hits 'f'.

Following this pattern you come up with the following results:

a2
b3
c4
d5
e7
f8
g9
h10
I12
j13
k14
l15
m16
n17
o19
p20
q21
r22
s23
t24
u26
v27
w28
x29
y30
z31

Now you take the word 'Heaven' and figure out which number matches the different letters. The results are as follows:

H = 10
E = 7
A = 2
V = 27
E = 7
N = 17

If you add those numbers up you come up with an answer of 'seventy'.

Now, since I know where this riddle originated (nice idea looking for an answer this way, especially since anyone who came up with the answer was allowed to post the answer on the Jack forums), I'll tell you what to do with the answer as well.

I'm not sure about the rules for posting URLs in yahoo answers, especially when linking to sites that have the content of the Jack webcomic's site, so I'll try and word it out. You need to type in the word "seventy" after the backslash at the end of the URL for the Jack webcomic.to see the second in a series of hidden comics, the first is rather easy to figure out from the first comic of the story arc this riddle appears in.

Answer 2

H=9 E=6 A=2 V=23 E=6 N=15

=61

Answer 3

Riddle me this...?
If A is 2 and B is 3 and F is 8, how high must you be to believe in heaven?

Answer 4

A=B and 3=F then 3 = 1 and f=6 and they have no correlation on the numbers of Heaven or Hell and I can tell you for certain that.....


your question= -5 points!

Answer 5

61

Answer 6

honey you need 40 days of change and 7 is the number of completion and by the way you can't get to heaven that way did you learn nothing by the Babylonians they tried to count bricks and see what happened

Answer 7

It's a riddle, you fools. A riddle, ok?
If you can't add anything constructive to it's solving, then go troll somewhere else.

As far as this is concerned, I saw someone figured this out: can you show us how you did so?

Answer 8

heaven isnt a number... and F would be 7 not 8

Answer 9

You can't compare Heaven to a letter or a number. What we know as the end isn't even the beginning with God.

Answer 10

You cannot as a human go to heaven, even though many people believe that they or all good people will go to heaven. If they were asked, why they go to heaven, or what they would do there, they may say:'it is to be with God,'or 'it is the reward for being good.' What does the Bible teach about this?
The Bible clearly says that Jesus was raised from the dead and that he went to heaven. But do all good persons go to heaven(Acts2:29,34) Tells us that king David did not go to heaven. What about the good and righteous man Job? While surffering, Job prayed to God:" Oh that in sheol[the grave] you would conceal me, that you would keep me secret until your anger turns back, that you would seta time limit for me and remember me!" Job expected that when hedied he would become unconscious in the grave, he would not go to heaven. But he had hope, as he explained: 'If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? All the days of my compulsory service(appointed time in the grave) I shal wait, untill relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you."
John who baptized Jesus, also was a good man. Yet Jesus said:"A person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than than he is."(Matthew11:11) This is so because John the Baptiser will not go to heaven. When Jesus was on earth, which was over 4,000 years after after the rebellion of Adam and Eve, he said:"No man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man"(John3:13).
Therefore, according to Jesus' own words, no man had gone to heaven for all those4,000 years of human history down until his day. David, Job and John the Baptizer will receive a resurrection to life on earth, all faithful men and women who died before Jesus died had rthe hope of living again on earth, not in heaven. They will be resurrected to become part of some of the earthly subjects of God's kingdom.(Psalm72:7,8 ; Acts1731.)
