Spoiler:
The riddle's pretty vague. We can open the box from inside and get out. You didn't say it was locked or anything.
Gomen, gomen.
I'm really busy. And yeah I read it thru but my free time didn't allow me to solve it :(

And Kid Sherlock is the next first solver of my "riddle"

I think i'm wrong but:
Spoiler:
30?
1+1+8=10
10+8+1=19
19+10+1=30

ok crazy thought time
Spoiler:
it looks like two sets of sequences

First ( odd ) is like this maybe 1 10 100 1000 or add a zero to the last one
second (even) look to be like this 8 add a 10 then N+1 - 8, 19, (19+10+1)=30

of course there is another way to look at it
1+8+1=10, 8+10+1=19, 10+19+1=30 but that one we know is wrong

one, eight, ten, nineteen, ninety.

Well, I guess... But in that case there can't be any more numbers in the sequence, right?

Okay, VQ time!

My turn again:
Spoiler:
A + C = D
A·B = C
C - B = B
A·4 = D

Find the numeric values of the letters and give your reasoning.
