"0," and uses both cyphers by putting them at the right-hand end of the 1,000 l. , thus producing 100,000 l. , which is well over the mark. But (or to express it in Latin) At Spes infracta has solved it even more ingeniously: with the first cypher she turns the "1" of the 1,000 l. into a "9," and adds the result to the original sum, thus getting 10,000 l. : and in this, by means of the other "0," she turns the "1" into a "6," thus hitting the exact 60,000 l.
