Shadow Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well, one solution is [hide]b = 8, c = 5, d = 1, e = 5, f = 2, g = 1, h = 4, i = 9[/hide]but there are around 450 more solutions. Cheers, Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrisch Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I had a feeling the solution wasn't unique. That's not entirely fair, now is it? I worked for about a half on it last night and I couldn't do it algebraically because the system had multiple solutions and I wasn't about to do guess and check.

Jacques Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 In your solution 5 is represented by A or C or E But is there a solution where each number 1-9 is represented by only one letter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yes [hide]567+281+134=982[/hide] 1 intense hour of reasonning with pencil and paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
