One Dollar Words

[Wayloss]

Okay here is a brain teaser for you people.
I need as many words as possible that add up to EXACTLY One Dollar.
Each letter is assigned a monetary value.

Code: Select all

Example:
A: $0.01
B: $0.02
C: $0.03
.
.
.
Z: $0.26

I'll start us off with Attitude.

1 + 20 + 20 +9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100

Lets see your brains work.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgghh

You know, like what a pirate says.
(1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+18+18+18+7+7+8+8=100)

(Okay, so I suck at this game. )

If you need the executable, code, or data files, just let me know.

Computers are better than brains... Especially, if its repetitions of algorithms

ouch, there goes that game. Though it was my solution to the problem too.
