Each puzzle is an arithmetic problem in which the digits have been replaced
(encoded) by letters. Your job is to reconstruct the arithmetic by logic
and trial. Some of the puzzles are quite easy. A few are fairly hard.
Each letter always represent the same digit throughout a puzzle, so if A represents 5 in one place, it represents 5 everywhere. Of course, each puzzle uses a different representation (encoding). In a few puzzles, some of the digits have been replaced by dots. In these puzzles a dot can represent any digit. Each dot could possibly represent a different digit. |
