   The Truth About Math   
   Full Paper at: https://github.com/alt-magick/Numbers   
      
   I have a theory that numbers are just variables, and that just maybe there   
    could be more than one answer for any problem. So then I thought about   
    Kabbalah. Each letter in the Jewish system of Gemantria, has a unique   
    number. So I decided to try this with the english words we use for numbers.   
    I wrote a program that solved it, and then learned online that we only use   
    16 letters of the alphabet, which means you couldn't assign every letter an   
    integer in all possible numbers. But who needs to do that? All we need are   
    the numbers 0 - 10. Which can actually have multiple values, but here is   
    one:   
      
   To do this each letter is given one unique number. The numerical values for   
    all the letters in a word are added together. So o+n+e=1, and t+w+o=2.   
    That's all there is too it!   
      
   Here is a chart with the solution:.   
      
   [ E, F, G, H, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Z]   
   [-2,-6, 0,-7, 7, 9, 2, 1, 4, 3,10, 5, 6,-9,-4,-3]   
      
   (zero) = (-3 + -2 + 4 + 1)   
      
   (one) = (1 + 2 + -2)   
      
   (two) = (10 + -9 + 1)   
      
   (three) = (10 + -7 + 4 + -2 + -2)   
      
   (four) = (-6 + 1 + 5 + 4)   
      
   (five) = (-6 + 7 + 6 + -2)   
      
   (six) = (3 + 7 + -4)   
      
   (seven) = (3 + -2 + 6 + -2 + 2)   
      
   (eight) = (-2 + 7 + 0 + -7 + 10)   
      
   (nine) = (2 + 7 + 2 + -2)   
      
   (ten) = (10 + -2 + 2)   
      
   Next to prove that we can actually use this system:   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = (10 + -2 + 2)^(10 + -9 + 1) * (10 + -7 + 4 + -2 + -2)   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = ( 10^2 ) * 3   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = ( 100 ) * 3   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = 300   
      
   Finally: We see if we can learn something new from this puzzle!
