**********************************************************

 THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

ADDITION OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + NUMBER OF LETTERS IN THE WORD

AS SOLID

S = 19

O = 15

L = 12

I = 9

D = 4

AND ( 19 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 4 ) + 5 =64

AND

POUR

P = 16

O = 15

U = 21

R = 18

AND ( 16 + 15 + 21 + 18) + 4 = 70 + 4 = 74

SIMILARLY

TON

T = 20

O = 15

N = 14

AND ( 20 + 15 + 14) + 3 = 49 + 3 = 52
