Re: Algebra puzzle
Newton's law of inertia: An object at rest stays at rest.
So why didn't the cheese just stay there floating in mid air when Grosso whipped its snout away from under the cheese?

Or one in motion remains in motion.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

That is similar to the penny in the glass demonstration of inertia.

Re: Algebra puzzle
In order to get all 96 solutions it is probably a lot easier to program it.

Re: Algebra puzzle
It is a condition of the problem. Each letter in an alphametic is supposed to be a different number.
