1. Each letter represents a different digit from 1 to 9 2. The total of each row is 17. 3. (B × B) + B + F = A 4. C × F = EF (a 2-digit number, not their product)
A + B + C = 17 D + E + F = 17 B2 + B + F = A C × F = EF
To begin with, B has to be a 1 or 2 or else A wouldn’t be a single digit. Plug in B = 2, gives you 6 + F = A, meaning F and A can only be (1,7) or (3,9). To get 17, C would have to be 8 or 6, but those values don’t work for C × F = EF. So B must be 1.
2 + F = A means F and A can be (2,4), (3,5), (4,6), (5,7), (6,8) or (7,9). To get 17 on the top row, the only option that leaves C as a single digit is F = 5 and A = 7.
C × F = EF 9 × 5 = 45, so E = 4 and D = 8 to make the second row equal to 17.
You ride on me every day but barely notice, I’m hot and cold at the very same time, I’m the densest of my clan, And my first three help you enjoy music.
Earth. Most people don’t stop to think that they’re hurtling through space on a huge planet. At any given time the Earth has burning hot magma and freezing arctics at the same time. The Earth is the densest planet and the first three letters, “ear” help you listen to music.
Cue. A cue tells you when to start, or if you forget your lines in a play. A cue ball is used to break at the beginning of a game of pool and the cue stick is used to push the cue ball on the break.
Another interesting tidbit is that cue is how you spell the letter q if you’re writing it out.
