Shane is 13.
In each name, vowels are worth 5 and consonants worth 1.
So LOUIE is 21,
MARIO is 17,
SHANE is 13,
CLIFF and ERNST are 9.
If you came up with a different answer, don’t assume it’s wrong. Our brighter-than-usual readers often find alternate solutions that are just as valid as ours. If you came up with the same answer (or a different one) using a different pattern, feel free to share it in the comments below.
Thanks for playing the Brain Game. Have a great weekend!
