The CODE-BREAKER Challenge for #gmw2022
Folk cracked this mighty strange code. It looks like lots of dots, but it is actually an English-language message!
Five clues were revealed. Can you crack the code for yourself?
How do you say the number 175487 in your language?
We're asked people to teach us how they say the big number 175 487 in their local language.
You can still write to us or video us saying the number. Be sue to tell us what language are you speaking, and, please translate word-for-word into English what you are saying. Most people don't think about the individual words themselves and they are often surprising.
Watch the video for details and to see how surprising it can be!
