Each letter represents a unique number from 0 to 9.
Find the numbers corresponding to letters W,R,O,N,G such that it satisfies the relation given below:
WRONG

my mom always told me two wrongs don't make a right....
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
i guess i should go rob that thief who mugged me last night.
hartnn (hartnn):
well, in mathematics , multiply two negatives, u will get positive.
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
LEFT
+ LEFT
====
RIGHT
hartnn (hartnn):
that's simpler,i guess,we get T directly coz T+T=T implies T=0

WRONG+WRONG= RIGHT ....let's say W=2, R=5, O=0 N=0, G=0
OpenStudy (ghazi):
2500+2500=5000
hartnn (hartnn):
the letters are unique.
OpenStudy (ghazi):
okay...wait
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
i suppose it's safe to assume 2(WRONG) = RIGHT

trial and error?
hartnn (hartnn):
show work?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ya... its a trial and error and a bit of logic
hartnn (hartnn):
what logic?
OpenStudy (experimentx):
W <= 4

Ya w<=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And R=2W
hartnn (hartnn):
R can be 2W+1, carry over 1 can be there.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nope, it cannot be
hartnn (hartnn):
if R>4,then there will be carry

WRONG
WRONG

R I G HT
--------
2G = T <-- T should be 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
hartnn (hartnn):
thats what i already written,W<5 and T even
hartnn (hartnn):
@sauravshakya why R can't be 2W+1 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Another possibility could be:
W = 4, R = 9, O = 1, N = 5, G = 3
R = 9, I = 8, G = 3, H = 0, T = 6.
Since carrying the added value is inevitable, there are probably more solutions also.
hartnn (hartnn):
how did u get that? trial and error
or some specific way?

Trial and error, mostly. Along with the described method above, W = 1/2 R, etc.
hartnn (hartnn):
so i will assume there is no other specific way to solve such thing, okkk
thanks for the reply though.
