solve:

GET*IT=RIGHT where each letter stands for a different number.

R=3

[Guest]

T = 5

[Guest]

T = 5

possibly.. could also be 1 though

[Guest]

possibly.. could also be 1 though

T could also = 6...

[Guest]

T could also = 6...

woww i really never though of that.. well, another hint:

T doesnt = 6

[Guest]

All variables are equal to 1. Thus (1)(1)(1)*(1)(1)=(1)(1)(1)(1)(1) = 1*1=1

solve:

GET*IT=RIGHT where each letter stands for a different number.

R=3

All variables are equal to 1. Thus (1)(1)(1)*(1)(1)=(1)(1)(1)(1)(1) = 1*1=1

Wrong... all numbers have to be different

nope the answer as i see it is far more complex

GET*IT=RIGHT

where i say

G=x1

E=x2

T=x3

I=x4

h=x5

that gives us the formula

(100*x1+10*x2+x3)*(10*x4+x3) = 30000+1000*x3+100*x1+10*x5+x3

which will have to be solved manually

where there is 10*9*8*7*6 times answers however only a few of them is correct

i then use mapple or any other program code to find the answer

for x1 from 0 to 9 do for x2 from 0 to 9 do for x2 from 0 to 9 do for x3 from 0 to 9 do for x4 from 0 to 9 do for x5 from 0 to 9 do if (100*x1+10*x2+x3)*(10*x4+x3) = 30000+1000*x3+100*x1+10*x5+x3 then print(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) end if end do end do end do end do end do end do;

which gives

x1=6, x2=2,x3=1,x4=5,x5=7

or

x1=7, x2=9,x3=5,x4=4,x5=7

however as it said in the text the numbers have to be different

so the answer is

621*51=31671

Ps. my very first post , just couldn't resist to find an answer for it

the code is

for x1 from 0 to 9 do

for x2 from 0 to 9 do

for x3 from 0 to 9 do

for x4 from 0 to 9 do

for x5 from 0 to 9 do

if (100*x1+10*x2+x3)*(10*x4+x3) = 30000+1000*x3+100*x1+10*x5+x3

then print(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)

end if

end do

end do

end do

end do

end do;

In your solution RIGHT=31671, so I=T=1 which is prohibited by the condition. Wrong answer. Nice first post.

There is just a couple of posts and the problem can be solve without hints. Why do you give so many?

I count 5 answers. But I brute forced it..

>< was a typo

Wrote

(100*x1+10*x2+x3)*(10*x4+x3) = 30000+1000*x3+100*x1+10*x5+x3

was supposed to be

(100*x1+10*x2+x3)*(10*x4+x3) = 30000+1000*x4+100*x1+10*x5+x3

which gives the 5 correct answers as the guy above me say
