Gertie just came from the office of her dear departed aunt's lawyer. She was told that her aunt (who loved language teasers) left her a certain amount of money in US Dollars.
The lawyer explained that according to the terms of her aunt's Last Will and Testament, Gertie will get fifty times the original amount bequethed if she could correctly guess the amount left her by midnight tomorrow.
"God, that would be a fortune if you succeed," the lawyer said as he handed her a note from her aunt. It read:
RAIN RIDDLE: OLD ASTRONOMY HOST ALLOWS ABLE LASS ENTRY IN OWN LAND ESTATE. Love Aunt Alley.
Question: How many thousand dollars did her millionaire aunt left Gertie?
16, or 22 if you count the "Love Aunt Sally" part
gouki has it with 16, but why?
Riddler you have to count the love aunt alley to get 16
You havn't said yet WHY is it 16
OR how much money she will get. Read it more closely.
