N = 2
R = 4
W = 1
P = 9
A = 4
D = 0
G = 7

Hint: some of these letters have much more than a single solution.
We just use basic topology of the symbols and see if they correspond: holes, tails, their connections and etc. The classes of letters presented are:
Just a line as in {C, 5, N, 2, W, 1, G, 7, M }
Circle with a tail as in { P, 9 }
Circle with two tails as in {R, A, 4}
Just circle as in {D, 0}.
With that said, B definitely equals
eight.
BONUS QUESTION FOR CREATOR:
What makes me believe that
POLO equals 0.06?

$\begingroup$ I would say W=3 under these rules, no? And surely M and W would be the same, at least? $\endgroup$– hexominoApr 24, 2019 at 11:49

1$\begingroup$ @hexomino I might have been unclear, but by my set of rules M=W=3=2, so you're correct as well. $\endgroup$ Apr 24, 2019 at 12:14

$\begingroup$ Good job ! To be more precise, the "equal" sign indicated that values on each sign were related by a homeomorphism : You can read more about it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology, but it basically means that if you squish and pull stuff on the LHS without changing the general toplogy (holes stay holes, etc), you can get the RHS (like a donut can change into a mug). $\endgroup$– SoltiusApr 24, 2019 at 22:23

If a person wants a cool party, what will he say.
Wanna rocking party in big hall
Remove all vowels to get

Given are the position of letters in which they first appear in this sentence.
B = 14
This is the answer.
