Sunday Times Teaser 2551 – Take Nothing for Granted

by Victor Bryant

Published: 14 August 2011 (link)

In arithmetic, the zero has some delightful properties. For example:

ANY + NONE = SAME and X . ZERO = NONE In that sum and product, digits have been replaced with letters, different letters being used for different digits. But nothing should be taken for granted: here the equal signs are only approximations as, in each case, the two sides may be equal or differ by one.

    This teaser is flawed since it should have only one answer but it has two (7146 and 7543).
