Number The Puzzle
In the figure that has been attached to this question, each digit represents a digit. The similar letters carry the same integer value. Can you expose the original digits?
It is specified that:
(1) Each digit represents a digit.
(2) The similar letters carry the same integer value
It does NOT say that distinct letters must correspond to distinct digits. Hence, three possible solutions are there.
Possible answers:
1. T = 1, W = 3, O = 0; H = 6, R = 9 and E = 0, so that TWO = 130, THREE = 16900
2. T = 1, W = 4, O = 0; H = 9, R = 6 and E = 0, so that TWO = 140, THREE = 19600
and
3. T = 1, W = 3, O = 8; H = 9, R = 0 and E = 4, so that TWO = 138, THREE = 19044
If the additional condition that distinct letters must correspond to distinct digits, only the third solution is valid (because in the other solutions, lettes O and E represent the same digit 0.)
