Helpful Hints
- '-' is a minus symbol, and here it's a deletion indicator! It tells us to remove some letters from a neighbouring piece of fodder. We'll also use '+' in a similar way, adding what follows to what precedes.
- Our fodder is '12', '55', and 'n'. We'll need to substitute each of our numbers with something else and then use all our fodder to construct our answer as directed by our indicator(s).
- The definition is '9 - 12' — but no math is required for this definition! Our answer will be related to this definition in a different way.
