One time in college I emailed my dad asking for money and he said I could have some if I solved the following equation:
SEND
+MORE
_______
MONEY
Each letter represents its own digit (0-9) and multiple occurrences of the same letter represent the same digit (eg if one of the E's represents a 3, they all do).
Solution:

After several hours of vigorous problem solving and guess-and-check, I think I've come upon the solution.

I actually think I've seen this exact problem in a MathCounts competition before...strange!
Nice, you got it
ReplyDeleteHEy chralie Guthrie can you tell me in a easy way i couldn't get this fully.

You could have sent a different answer every week to your father, and get rich.

Half a year worth of pocket money...
Ooops... sorry, the previous comment is obviously wrong... there's only one solution with all the digits being different, and that's the one you gave. My mistake, humbly !

Delete9235 + 1092 = 10327
ReplyDeleteIt is the Constraint Satisfaction Method (CSM) from the Science of Artificial Intelligence.
ReplyDeleteCan you teach us how to solve it? I need to show my work for a homework assignment and im confused...?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how Matt did it, but I did a plug and chug where I started with some assumptions for S and M in order to get an answer in the 10,000s. You can then slowly see the relationship of what the numbers would have to be, again with a little plug and chug. Actually, I tried a value for M as zero and found an answer of 3712 + 0467 = 04179
ReplyDeleteInterestingly my sister came up with the same result using M=0 before finding the result with M=1.
DeleteI argued that M=0 is invalid due to 0 being a placeholder and irrelevant in that slot (where there are theoretically infinite zeroes.) But it is an applause-worthy unconventional solution, and it does work!

Two four-digit numbers cannot sum to more than 20,000 so M=1.
ReplyDeleteNow this sum must also be smaller than 12,000 so O=0.
Looking at the hundreds column, it must include a carry and N=E+1. There is no carry in the thousands column so S=9.
The sum in the tens column must satisfy N=E+1 and so R=8 and there is a carry.
The only sum in the units column that causes a carry and uses the remaining digits is D=7, E=5, Y=2.
So the solution is 9567+1085=10652.
why must it be smaller than 12,000?
