4/4
By being wrong, apparently... I've left my original explanation intact, but, well, you get 3 colorless, not 19 colorless, and that's probably not the whole casting cost. Apparently it's actually 3RR.
Part 2. The symbols are clearly chemical elements; if we ignore the usual order of operations and just calculate left to right as he says, we get the number 19. (If we do try to do the ordinary order of operations, we end up with 38 instead, which is A. even more ridiculous and B. ignoring the instructions.)
(Guys, Y is 39; V is 23.)
Then we have "green ideas sleep furiously", clearly a reference to Noam Chomsky's famous sentence "colorless green ideas sleep furiously". So the missing word is "colorless". 19 colorless.
Now for the P/T... unfortunately the calculations given aren't really meaningful, because pure numbers are being mixed with dimensioned quantities, but if we assume that for the first one all distances should be thought of as numbers of feet, we get a power of 8. If we do yards, we get 4. This is once again computing left-to-right, as if we do the ordinary order of operations, we'll get a fraction.
For the toughness, assuming it's tons/day, well, whether you do it left-to-right or ordinary order, either way you get a fraction... but rounding, we get 4 if it's left-to-right, and 1 if you do ordinary order.
So its power is probably 8 or 4, and its toughness is probably 4 or 1, more likely 4 for consistency. Which seems decidedly underwhelming for something costing 19, but there's still the rest of the card...
GNU S - iomggrramnp gneluaag = GNU S - Programming language
Another name for the R programming language so the mana cost is
39 - 1 + 4 / 6 - 4 = 3
3GRR
*hits self on head* OK, my 19 should be 3, and you've just found an RR, but where are you getting G from? "green ideas sleep furiously" seems to be pretty clearly suggesting "colorless", to complete the sentence; so looks like a total of 3RR.
(And a 3RR 4/4 makes (so far) much more sense than a 19 mana one...)
[Tilde] [bargains] [Enemy Territory (no splash)] equal to [Two Way Interactive Connections in Education] the [abstract object used in counting and measuring] of [18 on wiki list] [consumed] to [Wal-Mart and The Home Depot competitor] [homophone of a HP character] or [VLC media].
~ deals damage equal to twice the number of [18 on wiki list] devoured to target creature or player.
20 yd - 0.001829 km / 324 in. + 1.829 m (20 - 2 )/ 9 + 2
Something probably means Devour here, since we seem to have it in the other ability. I'm thinking it's this:
eoehrtorpth vertical line with a seriph on top
And if it has devour, it certainly doesn't have a power of 18...
[18 on wiki list] is also probably "creatures"...
EDIT: Oh, and vertical line with a serif could also be a 1. I'm really thinking that it should be devour now...

4/4
Note: Wording may vary slightly.
Oh, crap. It seems everyone's making calculation errors... it's actually 3, and later posts point out that that's not the whole mana cost.
...and later posts show that it's actually 3RR.
Glad your not a detective. You have no idea what the rest says. It could be amazing and you are jumping to conlusions based on the mana cost alone.
Y - H + Be / C - Be
Y=23
H=1
Be=4
C=6
(Atomic Numbers on the Periodic Table of Elements)
Only problem is if you proceed L to R, you get a decimal.
26 / 6 - 4 ??
20 - 2 / 9 + 2 = 4 (Left to Right, not OoO)
3 - 1 * 3 - 2 = 4

Yes, but he said proceed directly from L to R, which would make it (26 / 6) - 4 or roughly 1/3.
I think that's a lowercase beta. Also, we can be certain the sigma goes at the end, because that's the final form of a lowercase sigma.

Re: People misusing the term Vanilla to describe a flying, unleash (sometimes trample) critter.
I know what site you are using
So close to Bolas...... hmmm
As for "eoehrtorpth", you can make "Hero Thopter" from it...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
For the record, a preliminary scan shows no Ceaser Cipher use...

0.001829 kilometers = 72.007874 inches
(72.007874 inches) / (324 in.) = 0.222246525
1.82900 + 0.22224652 = 2.05124652
2 meters = 2.1872266 yards
20 - 2 = 18?
I know this is sloppy math, but it seems more in line with the casting cost...
n/m if the casting cost is not really 19 :-D

Makes sense if it has devour.
Not so much anymore.
