    Step 2 = 9 • 2 = 18 Step 3 = (9 • 6) = 54 + 5 = 59. Steps 1-3 are added together to reach a sum of 65. Step 4 = 65@4 = 654 Step 5 = 70 • 20 = 1400 + 654 = 2054. The reverse, where subscripts of 1 are assigned to 26 and subscripts of 2 are assigned to 79 would yield the same answer but with different results to each intermediary step.
