No matter how far I've roamed, I've never found anything quite as perplexing as this puzzle. Perhaps you can help me find the missing numeral in the last line. 



EXIT + LAX = 71

BROCCOLI + MASSIVE = 1205

SCANDAL + CLIENT = 601

DELIGHT + EMULSIVE = 1605

ADVISE + NAVY = 511

SIX + CANDLE = 459

DECEIT + DECEIVE = 1205

MEDIA + ALIVE = ?


Suggestions for improvement welcome

The missing step is to




Remove extra letters so that the words can be read as Roman numerals.




The equations are




EXIT + LAX = XI + LX = 11 + 60 = 71

BROCCOLI + MASSIVE = CCLI + MIV = 251 + 1004 = 1255 (???)

SCANDAL + CLIENT = CDL + CLI = 450 + 151 = 601

DELIGHT + EMULSIVE = DLI + MLIV = 551 + 1054 = 1605

ADVISE + NAVY = DVI + V = 506 + 5 = 511

SIX + CANDLE = IX + CDL = 9 + 450 = 459

DECEIT + DECEIVE = DCI + DCIV = 601 + 604 = 1205




So the answer is




MEDIA + ALIVE = MDI + LIV = 1501 + 54 = 1555

            Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

            Image
            6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
