R=9
S = 8
T = 7
U = 2
V = 6
W = 1
X = 4
Y = 5
Z = 3
9*87+2/6 = 783 1/3
14 + 5/3 = 15 2/3
783 1/3 / (15 2/3) = 50
14 + 5/3 = 15 2/3
783 1/3 / (15 2/3) = 50
You can rationalize this solution, but I actually derived it by looping through all 9! possibilities. You quickly restrict your options if you try to derive the solution by realizing that the number on the right side must be > 12, so the number on the right must be > 600, and the number on the left side can be, at most, 9 * 87 + 6/1 (really, we don't have to include 1) = 789
