You intended for the answer to be 48, but you made a mistake. the answer to H is 118 not 117 (there are only 20 facts since 1 is a lie)

48 would still not be the answer. You are correct in that we counted the lie. Feel free to list your other answers and we will give another hint.

Check letter I - the one about the poker post - make sure you read the whole description of I. I think it's funny you got that one wrong considering your intro post. :) You are one step away!

are you including 10 as a face card? because 2+9+6+5+2+7+10+8+6 = 55.
