Can you solve this problem?
If Steve walks to the bank and on his way he sees Mike; Mike is walking twelve dogs, each dog has a flea collar and each collar kill fleas with a ratio of twelve to two-hundred and twelve. Mike walks south toward a collection of flea infested parks, if there are five hundred and eighty-seven thousand five hundred and twelve fleas in each park and there is sixteen parks in the area how much difference(time-wise) will Mike’s realization that the flea collars will not work and Steve’s arrival at the bank if the bank is twelve blocks in the northern direction and the fleas in the park will infest the first dog in eight minutes, and the first park is four blocks south of Mike’s current position?
Add the numerical value of all the letters in this question(only the details and including this part). Numerical values are the letters position in the alpabet(A=one…Z=twenty-six)
You must include the rules for the question the part that is spaced down from the other part(dont include this part though)
You MUST find the number that is all of the letters numerical value combined!!(don’t include this part either)

Does this help anyone? I’m assuming that we are to ignore anything that is not A through Z?
Okay, I get 8074 from a program similar to the following:
main()
{
char s[1000];
int i, total;
strcpy(s, “IFSTEVEWALKSTO”);
total = 0;
for (i=0; i
total += s[i];
printf(“Total is: %dn”, total);
}
Intentional bugs were introduced in case this was someone’s homework.
