Answer / guest

The numbers on the extreme right represent the sum of the
values represented by the characters in that row. Also, the
numbers on the last raw represent the sum of the values
represented by the characters in that column. e.g. B + R + A
+ I + N = 31 (from first row)

B=7, R=6, A=4, I=5 and N=9

Make total 10 equations - 5 for rows and 5 for columns - and
sovle them.

From Row3 and Row4,

N + I + A + B + B = N + I + B + A + I + 2

B = I + 2

From Row1 and Row3,

B + R + A + I + N = N + I + A + B + B - 1

R = B - 1

From Column2,

R + B + I + I + R = 29

B + 2R + 2I = 29

B + 2(B - 1) + 2I = 29

3B + 2I = 31

3(I + 2) + 2I = 31

5I = 25

I = 5

Hence, B=7 and R=6

From Row2,

B + B + R + B + A = 31

3B + R + A = 31

3(7) + 6 + A = 31

A = 4

From Row1,

B + R + A + I + N = 31

7 + 6 + 4 + 5 + N = 31

N = 9

Thus, B=7, R=6, A=4, I=5 and N=9

On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle). However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is weighed. How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just 1 weighing?
