Hi
My first post so apologies if this is in the wrong place etc.
My son was set the following question as part of his maths work, and whilst I think the intention may simply be to brute force a solution, I was hoping to identify a more elegant way to solve this to walk through with my son and hoped someone here may be able to help.
Question:
S.NOW+
R.AIN
________
SL.EET
Where each different letter is unique.
We have worked out the first part, and deduced that S must be 1 and therefore L must be 0, but after that we have got a bit stuck. I have seen actual solutions online, however what I am after is the method that doesn't rely on brute force.
Any ideas how to solve this?
