  ^^ good idea, wrong but good.
  
  If it's a simple conversion then G>S whatever you are using.

  Wat ya mean g>s whatever im using? Tried the
  Phone keypad but it does work out nor does replacing
  The letters with their number plae in the alphabet.
  With no clues this seems like its just made up

  Where did you get the puzzle from?

  Nailez1 year, 4 months ago #5Show comment toolsReply

  Alphabet theory
  
  s= 19
  a = 1
  i = 9
  n = 14
  t = 20
  
  Together add =54
  Total add = 63
  
  +
  
  n = 14
  i = 9
  c = 3
  k = 11
  
  Together add = 28
  Total add= 37
  
  Hmm nothing here and for alpha theory would need to work out to be
  
  G I F T S
  7 9 6 20 19

  It's possible i believe. I just need to get my head down and figure it out. Its going to drive me mad now.
  
  Its a simple trial and error puzzle (with many combinations :{ )
  
  Once complete, each letter will represent a number.

  Assuming each (letter) number is unique and between 1 and 9 there are six solutions:
  
  ANSWER: 19654+5687=26341 (eg S=1 A=9 I=6 N=5 T=4 etc)
  ANSWER: 19684+8657=26341
  ANSWER: 29564+6578=35142
  ANSWER: 29574+7568=35142
  ANSWER: 39851+5862=48713
  ANSWER: 39861+6852=48713

  ... and if they don't have to be unique there are interestingly exactly 4000 solutions. I won't list them here.

  Slight error before (!)
  
  How about this:
  Solution: 79345+4312=83657
  Solution: 84172+7156=91328
  
  and including 0's:
  
  
  Solution: 83072+7056=90128
  Solution: 84063+6075=90138
  Solution: 24065+6087=30152
  Solution: 74065+6092=80157
  
  ... and 7600 possible solutions if the numbers don't have to be unique and can include zero. (Such as 00000+0000=00000...)

  Started doing it algebraicly then realised I'd get the answer much quicker if I wrote a program to do it for me! The other solution(s) should be fine too, obviously the 84172+7156=91328 is best as its just numbers from 1 - 9.
