One other service number I know, my best mate in training, gives Answer A to be 261, Answer B as 11. We need a 5 for him as his number had F as a check character.
Or are my arithmetic skills letting me down?
Here's mine:
Answer A was 144, then divide it by 23 = 6.26. Then multiply that integer (6) by 23 to get 138. Take that away from 'Answer A' to get 6 which = G.
