Edit Moderator: Moved from Reference to Trivia and Word Games.

Can anyone help with this puzzle:-

In the following passage the numbers 12345 each represent a different letter of the alphabet. What are they?

"We have only two places left at this 1245532," said the principal of the college. "There's one in the 145324 skills course and another in 5412453. But you'll have to be good. We only take the 12345.

Much appreciated

That's just some American humor (humour)--from an old 1970s TV program called, "Welcome Back, Kotter."

In response to your query, Carditel has it right. I was just going to drop you hints, so you're lucky C. showed up. Smile
