My second grader came home today with a bizzare homework problem: Using a simple substitution cipher, where A=1, B=2, etc., define the value of a word to be the sum of its letters. So far, so good. But the assignment was to come up with a word ... worth exactly 65 points. Really? C'mon, that's work for a computer, not a human. Specifically, work for Perl. More specifically, a one-liner. Which means it's good for a little golf! Here's my offering, finding 65-point words in the unix dictionary, in 93 bytes:
Update: Huge thanks to everyone who participated! I learned something new from each and every entry, which was at once rewarding and humbling. May I never stumble across any of this in production code! :-) In reply to Homework Golf by McD
