AI Thread Summary
Mad Ade was babysitting his two-year-old nephew, who creatively used four play blocks, each with six unique letters, to spell various words. The words formed include BODY, MAZE, CURT, MOVE, DRAW, NOTE, FEAR, PICK, HUNT, QUIT, JOKE, SNOB, KNEW, TYPE, and LIFE. The blocks were identified with specific letters: the first block has BTKLAV, the second OUPFWZ, the third DEHSCQ, and the fourth JNYRMI. There was a discussion about the arrangement of letters, with some participants noting the difference in order and expressing satisfaction with the solutions provided. The conversation highlighted the playful challenge of determining the letter configurations while Mad Ade remained focused on his babysitting fee of two kebabs per hour.

Mad Ade was looking after his two year old Nephew (He charges two Kebabs an hour if you are in need of a babysitter).
His Nephew had 4 play blocks each with 6 sides. Each side has a letter from the alphabet. No letters are ever repeated. By arranging the blocks in different ways Mad Ade's nephew managed (By complete and utter fluke) to spell all the words listed below:

BODY
MAZE
CURT
MOVE
DRAW
NOTE
FEAR
PICK
HUNT
QUIT
JOKE
SNOB
KNEW
TYPE
LIFE

Now Mad Ade is relatively simple and missed the potential teaser in the situation, his mind firmly fixed on the Kebabs he was earning.
Can you figure out how the letters are arranged on the 4 blocks?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
first block: BTKLAV
second block: OUPFWZ
third block: DEHSCQ
fourth block: JNYRMI
 
first block - ABKLTV
second block - IJMNRY
third block - FOPUWZ
forth block - CDEHQS
 
LOL, dduardo,what's the difference in the order of the letters?
 
lol, your right. I didn't notice that. I just like my letters in alphabetical order
 
Apparently they are correct because I came up with the same answer and then tested it.
