Guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Here's some of my reasoning in solving this puzzle. Numbers "0 thru 9" are all used. It is obvious that S="5" for "S" to be in the same column and part of the sum, The letter "O" must ="9" in order to have a "1" carried over to the "K" so that T=K+1. This is done by adding the "1" to the "9", carried over from "15" (5+5+5) and the "1" is carried over again to the "K" from "10" (1+9). "A" must ="0" from the process. Now we can go back and solve for the letters "U,N,I". We have now used numbers "0,5,9" If we substitute "2" for "U", then "N=7" and If "N=7", then "E=1". "U" cannot ="1" because "N" would then ="9" We have numbers "3,4,6,8" left. Since T=K+1, only "3 & 4" will work, leaving numbers "6 and 8" for letters "I and G'. The rest went really fast.
