black smiley is a 5 or 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

next ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pour encourager les autres...:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The black smiley must be 0, and the empty square must be 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

language and math in the same morning... can this day get any better?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

white smiley < 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

black triangles are 7 so three black triangles + "carry the one" from the empty squares makes 22, making the white smiley = 2 black squares are 4: 4 + 4 + 4 + "carry the 2 from the black triangles" = 14. Carry the 1 from the black squares... 1 + 3 white smileys = 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 7 Final answer: 74250 Thanks for the puzzle :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if i calculate it, i get 74250 74250 74250 ------ + 222750 (there are six numbers) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I just meant the resulting sum is 74250 24750 24750 + 24750 _______ 74250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH! I see, ugggh... didn't realize I used 7 twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Back to the drawing board... except I have to run for now... will work on this offline, since now it's bugging me :) Thanks again...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, tanks for your explain... i wll try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the key to solving is in selecting numbers to add that produce the right digit for the sum AND that produce the right number to carry to allow the next column to work. I was just going too quickly and jumped to a conclusion without checking all the constraints.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aha, i got it 29750*3=89250
