Find two words, which are anagrams of each other, which complete this sentence:
Due to a recent outbreak of a ? infection in the zebra house, the local animal sanctuary had to ? their electron microscope correctly, to ensure rapid detection.
Hint
Start by looking at the consonants and vowels (AEIOU).
Answer
65 tonnes.
Vowels (AEIOU) are worth 3 and consonants are worth 5, added together and then multiplied by the number of ingots.
So TIN has 1 vowel (worth 3) and 2 consonants (worth 10).
Added gives 13, then multiplied by 5 ingots = 65.
