Math Riddle/Question.

Question

A

MERRY

+ XMAS

TURKEY

The three hints are 0=U, 1=T, 9=M

Answer 1

Hi Dorian M.,

A

M E R R Y

+ X M A S

T U R K E Y

2

9 7 4 4 5

+ 6 9 2 8

1 0 4 3 7 5

Some of the things I used:

A + Y + S = 10 + Y

A = 10 - S

∴ A & S ≠ 5

1 + R + A = E

R + 9 = K + 10

R = K + 1

1 + E + X = 10 + R

E + X = R + 9

There were a number of deductions I had to make to narrow down the possibilities.

Let me know if you would like further help with this problem. We could get online and work it out together.

Thanks, Joe.
