Looking at the subtraction again, we've got another formula, (E - S) = T, the second column from the right. Using what we already know about E and S, we can say:
E - S = T |
E - (10 - E) = T |
2E - 10 = T |
2E = T + 10 |
E = (T + 10) / 2 |
So for E to be a whole number, and a single digit, T must be even.
T | E | S |
2 | 6 | 4 |
4 | 7 | 3 |
6 | 8 | 2 |
8 | 9 | 1 |
T can't be 8 as S can't be 1 (it's J). In the subtraction, the third column from the right has T + E + 1 = U (+ 10), the 1 being carried over from (E + S). Plugging this into the table we get:
T | E | S | U |
2 | 6 | 4 | 9 |
4 | 7 | 3 | 12 (or 2 + 10) |
6 | 8 | 2 | 15 (or 5 + 10) |
Remember the first formula, (S + O) = U + 10, we got from the subtraction? We substitute 10 = (E + S) as before:
S + O = U + 10 |
S + O = U + S + E |
(removing S each side) |
O = U + E |
Using this to get values for O:
T | E | S | U | O |
2 | 6 | 4 | 9 | (6 + 9) = 15 |
4 | 7 | 3 | 2 | (2 + 7) = 9 |
6 | 8 | 2 | 5 | (5 + 8) = 13 |
O must be a single digit, so it can't be 15 or 13, leaving us with:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
J | U | S | T | E | O | R |
Putting what we know into the addition, we get 374473 + 73F739 = 1113212 and making the obvious subtraction, 1113212 - 374473 = 738739, gives F = 8, leaving C and I.
Doing the same to the subtraction, 74873 - IC233 = 18C40, the third column from the right, 8 - 2 = 6, so C = 6 and I is 5:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
J | U | S | T | I | C | E | F | O | R |
Which makes our formulae:
47737 * 65 = 3102905 | 374473 + 738739 = 1113212 |
74873 - 56233 = 18640 | ((7 + 3) * 4) + 9 = 49 |
