This One is Hardly Divine
A hundred and one by fifty divide,
And next let a cipher be duly applied
And if the result you should rightly divine,
You’ll find that the whole makes but one out of nine.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.

Look for hints below:
ReplyDeleteHint: This is not just a math problem.
Hint 2: Think Roman Numerals
Hint 3: Let a cipher be duly applied is adding something to the end
Hint 2: Think Greek Gods
