Riddle Contest
I am doing a riddle contest online... again. This is bad, because I'll get stuck on a riddle and it will occupy my mind, nonstop, until I solve it. It drives me nuts. I finally had to quit, the last time I did this, because the obsession was overwhelming. And the riddles were getting too hard. Nonetheless, I find myself shamed to be stuck already, on the 5th riddle of round 1.
Click to see riddle... any suggestions?

Comments closed on older entries, whenever I get around to it, to avoid spam.jodi! curse you. you know how much i love puzzles. i have to be in meetings most of the afternoon and i have to get some stuff done before i can leave (since i'm doing my best to stop taking work home). this is not helping. at first glance, all i can see is that A+E = 10

Wow Lewis, that's impressive, is there a system for working it out or is it iterative?

Lewis is correct! and since he is, I've been able to move on several riddles and am now stuck again.
