Sue was very confused. “What page are we on?” she asked. She wasn’t even hungry.
Again, each letter represents a different number. This time, what number does each letter represent?
g
a = ?lllle = ? llllg = ?llllp = ?
g
An explanation of how to solve this problem follows.
g
Explanation
The clue to the second problem is the letter g.
g
g
In the second column you see that g + g = g. At first you might think that g has to equal 0. But in the first column you see that g + g = e. Since every letter has to represent a different number, both e and g can’t represent 0. If you try different numbers you will find that g has to represent 9.
g
g
Therefore e must represent 8, and the rest of the problem is easily solved.

a = 7lllle = 8llllg = 9llllp = 1
PROBLEM 3

What number did each letter represent?
llll
a = ?lllle = ?llllr = ?lllls = ?llllw = ?
