THE GIRLS DIAL THE NUMBER... THE PHONE RINGS

Ran seemed to get a little antsy as the phone rang, before releasing a sigh of relief as she heard the click. However, that relief was short lived as a jeering voice sang out, “I see you found my little prank, wouldn't you say it's pretty dank?”

“Connie! You abs-absolute loser! It’s NOT funny! I need to make an im-important call!” Ran huffed.

“Awww, it seems I ruined your good time, it's what you get for souring mine!
I had dibs on that last slice of cake, and yet, surprise! What did you take?
Princess doesn't always get her way, so hope you have fun while you play!”


WRONG NUMBER. A NEW NUMBER IS PRESENTED TO YOU...

I think the math method takes longer haha
But the words confuse me so it's easier for me to put it in numbers.

Here, I'll describe how I messily mathed to the first answer. I think this method will probably work for most of the clues (with some trial and error of course) so if anyone who's stuck wants to try it:

Initially I tried to use algebra to figure it out (didn't work haha) so I assigned each spot a variable. Since the code is 7 numbers long, we have A, B, C, ... G. And because I hate words, I also rewrote all the clues using these variables and numbers.
The clues that give us actual number values are the most important. For this one it was the totals of 12 and 39. Based on those, we know that A B E F G = 27. Then I used the other clues to simplify it down to 4E plus C = 27. Since the numbers have to be integer values, based on the clues, we know that E must be an odd number, so that A can be an even number - this tends to be helpful too. That narrows it down pretty fast to what numbers E can be and still fit that above equation. At this point I got frustrated with the math so I just guessed and checked rip

EDIT: idk the plus signs aren't working, but I hope it still makes sense ahh

Yeah I tried using algebra too but I couldn't whittle down the amount of variables. I had a never-ending loop of replacing values then I was just like "yeah no this is not gonna work at all lol"
That is pretty much what I did. It's very helpful for me to write the clues as letters cause there's just so many numbers and I get easily confused @.@

@godawful: same. XD I have to write everything down on paper and then cross them out as they fail.
