Also you worded it much more eloquently then my original formulation, which was: "If any word in the question has the same number of letters as it's ordinal rank in the question, yes. Otherwise, no."

Me too! That's how i thought of it.

Is this rule also derivative of a previous rule?
Will it therefore be guessed easily?
Or will it be fiendishly difficult and nigh impossible to guess?
