New Scientist Enigma 1000 – One Thousand Times

by Richard England

From Issue #2155, 10th October 1998

Since M is the Roman numeral for 1000, we can say that with this puzzle New Scientist has published its Enigma M times – which is significant because:

ENIGMA ÷ M = TIMES

In this problem each letter stands for a different digit, and the same letter represents the same digit wherever it appears. No number starts with a zero.
