My Dog's Name
5983515161
HINT: REVERSE = ESREVER
My dog has 7 letters in her name.
The one on the top is my dog's name (in code) (well, I've got 2 dogs, this dog is much younger than the other dog)
Write the letter which appears most in my dog's name
Example: Panda = a (which appears 2 times, write it in number [a=1] then subtract 20 from it, -19 will be the answer)
The answer is -5.

The 'REVERSE' hint leads us to reverse the number we are given. So we get
1 6 1 5 1 5 3 8 9 5
One would guess that this is a sequence of letters where each number corresponds to a position in the alphabet. Since there are 10 digits in the code, and we were told the dog's name has 7 digits, we know 3 of those numbers must be 2 digits. We deduce (without decrypting) that the numbers of the code are:
16
15
15
3
8
9
5
since no other 2 digit combination is within 1 to 26 (otherwise, we exceed the numbers of the English alphabet).
15 occurs most in this code, hence 15-20=-5
For the curious, the dog's cute name is Poochie
