Maths Challenge

ok, for this question, there are 14 variables, A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,L,M,N,O,P

All letters are added up NOT MULTIPLIED, eg if V = 2, then in the eqn VT=5 , T would equal 3

The equations are as follows;

BANDAGE = 59

POMMEL = 71

GLIDE = 58

HAGGLE = 59

CAPPED = 108

BOC = 47

HILD = 72

NOM = 20



all values above 0


Whoever solves all 14 unknowns will receive 100 rep! (10 days of rep!)

Hmmm, eight equations in fourteen unknowns.

Think that just about excludes it from ":smile:", the set of solvable problems!

..it means that it is not restricted to one solution. eg. 2x+y=3, (x,y>0): The only integer solution is x=1,y=1, but there exists an infinite number of non-integer solutions.
It may be the case that this problem has only one possible all-integer solution- it will just require some lucky guesses to solve.

Like a matrice 8x14 ... with another condition all the values are greater than 0 (I think they should be integers as well) lol. Use the computer to do it :biggrin:
