A square \(4 \times 4\) is called magic if all the numbers from 1 to 16 can be written into its cells in such a way that the sums of numbers in columns, rows and two diagonals are equal to each other.

Today we will practice to encrypt and decipher information using some of the most common codes. Majority of the codes in use can be alphabetic and numeric, namely one may want to encode a word, a phrase, or a number, or just any string of symbols using either letters, or numbers, or both. Some of the codes, however may use various other symbols to encrypt the information. To solve some of the problems you will need the correspondence between alphabet letters and numbers

Two expressions are written on the board:

\[1 + 22 + 333 + 4444 + 55555 + 666666 +7777777 + 88888888 + 999999999\] \[9 + 98 + 987 + 9876 + 98765 + 987654 + 9876543 + 98765432 + 987654321\]

Determine which one is greater or whether the numbers are equal.
