If each letter is coded as its position in reverse order (Z = 1, Y = 2, …, A = 26), what is the code for COLD?

1. 24, 12, 15, 23
2. 24, 15, 12, 23
3. 23, 12, 15, 22
4. 24, 12, 15, 22

Correct answer: 24, 12, 15, 23

Solution

In reverse coding, Z = 1 and A = 26. So C = 24, O = 12, L = 15, and D = 23. Therefore, COLD is coded as 24, 12, 15, 23.
