Dollar Words ZYXs Descending Value Method
THE DESCENDING METHOD OF VALUATION (a=26, b=25, c=24 ... z=1)
THIS IS MORE DIFFICULT SINCE WE ARE USED TO THE ABC SONG
LET'S TRY TO SING THE SONG IN DESCENDING ORDER:
1. ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA, "NOW I KNOW MY ZYXs, NEXT TIME WON'T BE SO COMPLEX's"
THERE ARE OVER 1,300 DOLLAR WORDS USING THE DESCENDING METHOD.
THERE ARE ONLY 900 DOLLAR WORDS USING THE ASCENDING METHOD.
AS YOU CAN SEE ALGEBRA IS JUST USING LETTERS AND SYMBOLS TO REPRESENT NUMBERS, SO WE CAN CHOOSE ANY VALUES WE WANT
2. THE SHORTEST DOLLAR WORDS USING THE DESCENDING METHOD OF VALUATION IS THE WORD "ACCA" WITH 4 LETTERS: IT MEANS A GOLD AND SILK BROCADE OF MEDIEVAL ORIGIN; ALSO "CACA" A CHILDISH WORD FOR POOP.
3. THERE ARE ONLY 2-3 5-LETTER WORDS THAT HAVE AN ASCENDING VALUE OF 100; BUT THE DESCENDING METHOD GIVES US MANY MORE 5-LETTER DOLLAR WORDS:
ABBEY ACRID BACON BASAL BEFOG BEGET CATCH CHAIN CHALK CHINA DODGE ELIDE FACET HENCE IMAGE LAGAN LANCE MAGMA MEDAL
4. THE LONGEST DOLLAR WORDS USING THE DESCENDING METHOD OF VALUATION HAS 10 LETTERS: ONE OF THESE WORDS IS "SULPHUROUS": IT MEANS HAVING SULFUR WHICH IS A YELLOW CHEMICAL ELEMENT THAT HAS A STRONG UNPLEASANT ODOR WHEN IT IS BURNED; IT IS USED IN MAKING PAPER, GUNPOWDER AND MEDICINE.
5. LIST ALL OF THE DOLLAR WORDS USING DESCENDING METHOD WHERE THE LETTERS REPEAT (OF COURSE, THESE ARE NOT WORDS): THESE ARE ALL OF THE FACTOR PAIRS OF 100:
4B = BBBB: 25 X 4 = 100
5G = GGGGG: = 20 X 5 = 100
10Q = QQQQQQQQQQ: = 10 X 10 = 100
20V = VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV: = 5 X 20 = 100
25W = WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW: = 4 X 25 = 100
50Y = YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY: = 2 X 50 = 100
100Z = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ = 1 X 100 = 100
6. ON THE PDF, I LISTED ALL 1,300 DOLLAR WORDS WITH DESCENDING VALUE; TRY AS MANY OF THESE WORDS AS POSSIBLE TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE REALLY DOLLAR WORDS
