| a | CD8 | 8 |
| b | ADAMTS13 | 13 |
| c | free T4 | 4 |
| d | G6PD | 6 |
| e | Factor VII | 7 |
| f | Factor IX | 9 |
| g | CA125 | 125 |
| h | CA19.9 | 19.9 |

| j | 21-hydroxylase | 21 |
| k | free T3 | 3 |
| l | CURB-65 | 65 |
| m | coenzyme Q10 | 10 |
| n | Chromosome 18 | 18 |
| o | type 3c diabetes | 3 |
| p | CA15.3 | 15.3 |
| q | vitamin B1 | 1 |
| r | 5-HIAA | 5 |
| s | parvovirus B19 | 19 |
| t | COVID-19 | 19 |
Simply assign the numeral to the letter and plug it into the big equation, being careful to follow BODMAS rules! The letters "h" and "p" respectively require the ceiling (round up) and floor (round down) functions.
The equation works out to be an eight-digit number which we partition into 10 6 4 8 65 4. Using the same letter-numeral key as before, gives the answer MDCALC.
