Find number abc
If aac67 - 2b20c = b26a9 find number abc. Multiple solutions may exist. What a winning combination?
The computer chose a secret code (sequence of 4 digits from 1 to 6). Your goal is to find that code. Black circles indicate the number of hits on the right spot. White circles indicate the number of hits on the wrong spot. Calculate the number 5613
NUMBERMANIA: Calculate the number 5613 using numbers [6, 9, 4, 2, 31, 597] and basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). Each of the numbers can be used only once.

Find number abc
If 75849 + 856ac = b6b479 find number abc. Multiple solutions may exist. William SmithDied 28 Aug 1839 at age 70 (born 23 Mar 1769). English geologist and engineer who extended the science of stratigraphy. His early work was as a miner and an engineer, for a canal-digging company. From this experience he observed the difference in rock layers. He also recognized that the same succession of fossil groups from older to younger rocks could be found in many parts of England, which he called the principle of faunal succession. He travelled the entire country to verify that relationships between the strata and their characteristics were consistent everywhere. Thus Smith created a profile of the entire country of England. His great geologic map of England and Wales (1815) set the standard for modern geologic maps. Many of the colourful names he gave to the strata are still in use today.«[Image: portrait of William Smith by Abner Lowe in the 1920s] |

MAGIC SQUARE: Calculate A-B*C
The aim is to place the some numbers from the list (11, 12, 17, 30, 31, 36, 44, 68, 69, 74) into the empty squares and squares marked with A, B an C. Sum of each row and column should be equal. All the numbers of the magic square must be different. Find values for A, B, and C. Solution is A-B*C. Find number abc
