26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
******************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
STEP 1. SUM OF ALL OPPOSITE ALPHABETS PLACE VALUE
STEP 2. SUBTRACT BY 3
L → (OPPOSITE) → O
I → (OPPOSITE) → R
A → (OPPOSITE) → Z
B → (OPPOSITE) → Y
I → (OPPOSITE) → R
L → (OPPOSITE) → O
I → (OPPOSITE) → R
T → (OPPOSITE) → G
Y → (OPPOSITE) → B
15 + 18 + 26 + 25 + 18 + 15 + 18 + 7 + 2 = 144
= 144 - 3
= 141
AND
O → (OPPOSITE) → L
F → (OPPOSITE) → U
F → (OPPOSITE) → U
I → (OPPOSITE) → R
C → (OPPOSITE) → X
I → (OPPOSITE) → R
A → (OPPOSITE) → Z
T → (OPPOSITE) → G
E → (OPPOSITE) → V
= 12 + 21 + 21 + 18 + 24 + 18 + 26 + 7 + 22 = 169
= 169 - 3 = 166
SIMILARLY
S → (OPPOSITE) → H
T → (OPPOSITE) → G
A → (OPPOSITE) → Z
T → (OPPOSITE) → G
U → (OPPOSITE) → F
T → (OPPOSITE) → G
O → (OPPOSITE) → L
R → (OPPOSITE) → I
Y → (OPPOSITE) → B
8 +7 + 26 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 12 + 9 + 2 = 84
= 84 - 3
= 81
