Consider the sum: ABC + DEF + GHI = JJJ
If different letters represent different digits, and there
are no leading zeros, what does J represent?

Answer / guest
The value of J must be 9.
Since there are no leading zeros, J must be 7, 8, or 9. (JJJ
= ABC + DEF + GHI = 14? + 25? + 36? = 7??)
Now, the remainder left after dividing any number by 9 is
the same as the remainder left after dividing the sum of the
digits of that number by 9. Also, note that 0 + 1 + ... + 9
has a remainder of 0 after dividing by 9 and JJJ has a
remainder of 0, 3, or 6.
The number 9 is the only number from 7, 8 and 9 that leaves
a remainder of 0, 3, or 6 if you remove it from the sum 0 +
1 + ... + 9. Hence, it follows that J must be 9.

Answer / nell
I agree that J represents 9. ABC, DEF, and GHI would
therefore be represented by 140, 273, and 586. However,
there is not enough information to identify which set of
letters represents which 3-digit number.

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.

A number of 9 digits has the following properties: ? The number comprising the leftmost two digits is divisible by 2, that comprising the leftmost three digits is divisible by 3, the leftmost four by 4, the leftmost five by 5, and so on for the nine digits of the number i.e. the number formed from the first n digits is divisible by n, 2<=n<=9. ? Each digit in the number is different i.e. no digits are repeated. ? The digit 0 does not occur in the number i.e. it is comprised only of the digits 1-9 in some order. Find the number.

Scientist decided to do a study on the population growth of rabbits. Inside a controlled environment, 1000 rabbits were placed. Six months later, there were 1000Z rabbits. At the beginning of the 3rd year, there were roughly 2828Z rabbits, which was 4 times what the scientists placed in there at the beginning of the 1st year. If Z is a positive variable, how many rabbits would be there at the beginning of the 11th year?
