AT A Halloween party I met a strangely beautiful red-haired woman who
was gazing with longing into a bonfire. To my inquiries she replied: 鈥�(My
telephone number) **2 = AABCCD and the exchange is 04617. I was born in
theyear given by:
(AE) F = EDGE鈥�
I realised that it was one of those 鈥榣etters-for-digits-and-digits-for-letters鈥�
puzzles, but I must have looked confused for she added: 鈥楾he other letters
are HIS.鈥� So saying she vanished into thin air.

stand for different letters and vice versa; and that 04617 stands for the
place where she now resides: Can you solve the mystery and write down the
digits 0 to 9 in the alphabetical order of the letters that represent them?
