the bridge was guarded by an evil troll. The troll was very intelligent, but he was also a coward. He was afraid of anyone smarter than him.
So every time anyone tried to cross the bridge, the troll would set up a test. If the traveler
passed the test, he would be allowed to cross.
Otherwise, the troll would eat him.
A judge named Oscar came across the bridge. The troll said, "You may only
cross my bridge if you know the password." He then wrote 26 equations on a
rock: A=1, B=2, and so on until Z=26.
"Today's password is the name of a woman," said the troll. "The woman's name
has the same 'product' as the word JUDGE, that
is, 10*21*4*7*5. It also has the same number of letters as JUDGE.
However it has no letters in common with JUDGE."
"When the first and second letters in the woman's name are switched around, the letters are in
alphabetical order."
"Finally," said the troll, "the woman's name does not contain the letter C because I despise the
number 3."
So, what is the password? And why couldn't the troll use similar rules to create a password using the name OSCAR rather than the word JUDGE

Answer:
FANNY
Step-by-step explanation:
JUDGE
= 10 * 21 * 4 * 7 * 5
= (2 * 5) * ( 3 * 7 ) * (2 * 2) * 7 * 5
Nothing is common with judge
7 factor are 7 , 14 21 from 1 to 26
7 & 21 ( E & U used in judge)
so only 14 left
7 is twice so
14 is to be used twice
N will come twice
(2 * 5) * ( 3 * 7 ) * (2 * 2) * 7 * 5
= (2 * 7) ( 2 * 7) ( 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 )
C is not used in name so 3 can not be
E is there in judge so 5 can not use
3 * 2 = 6 F
5*5 = 25 Y
A = 1 (multiplication with 1 will not cause any issue)
Alphabetical order AFNNY ( after replacing 1st & 2nd Letter)
=> FANNY
FANNY is the Password
