Unlocking the mystery of 1123

1123

Take each number and convert it to the corresponding letter of the alphabet: 1 = A, 2 = B, and 3 = C.

That gives AABC, which clearly stands for "Anonus's ABC".

Anonus's ABC Inc is headquartered in Denver. The elevation of Denver is 1 mile, or 5280 feet.

5, 2, and 8 are the number of letters in each word in the sentence "Bobby is sensible." That leaves 0.

But it's not a 0 at all, it's the letter O, as in Ohio.

What ex-troper lived in Ohio? Buttercupistiny.

"Buttercup" is the name of a character on The Powerpuff Girls. She was indeed tiny in the episode "Nano of the North", the 8th episode of season 4.

The 8th word of the 4th line of this post is THE.

So help me out, guys: what could "The" possibly mean?

It's fairly obvious.

THE is obviously an acronym for the name of this problem you're trying to solve: "The Heaper Enigma".

Clearly it refers to The The.

Fibonacci sequence.

The "the" is a lie!
