In the game of Letter Dice, a different letter of the alphabet is on each face of each of the 4 cubes, so that 24 of the 26 letters of the alphabet occur. Words are formed by rearranging and turning the dice so that the upward-facing letters spell a 4-letter word. The 13 words below have been anagrammed using today's cubes, which do not have a Q or X on them. Can you find the 6 letters on each die?

Hello friends!!! I am new here, and had started preparing about a fortnight back. I am having problems with a certain type of questions every time. Below given are two of such problems; please help me with this as you guys certainly have much more experience:

1. Find the value of (1)/(1.5.9) + (1)/(5.9.13) + (1)/(9.13.17) + .......... upto 11 terms.    

2. Find the value of (1)/(1.2.3.4) + (1)/(2.3.4.5) + (1)/(3.4.5.6) + ........... + (1)/(10.11.12.13).

Thank You
