When I read the title, I thought you said "What's the difference between Japan and Hawaii?"

I was thinking, wow, some people are really dumb.

"What's the difference between Japan and Hawaii?"

So first we need to take the letters of their names and convert to numbers:
If A=1, b=2, c=3 ...
then
Hawaii = 8+1+23+1+9+9 = 51
Japan = 10+1+16+1+14 = 42

Hawaii - Japan = 52-41 = 9

The answer is 9!

the only real word i could come up with this number using any combo (more than 1) of letters that adds up to 9 is:

ACE = 1+3+5

So the difference between hawaii and japan is an ace.
Hope that helps!!

ps. some other words i found include: FAB, HA, I

Haha that's how I thought variables were used in higher math courses when I was a kid. "Look mom!! My first name plus my last name is 245!!!!"
