Cross Roads

[quattro]

I remember this puzzle from long long ago

OCROSS
+ROADS
DANGER

I can't remember how to solve it, so I will be having a go too 8)

All of the letters represent numbers which, when substitued will make the sum work. i.e. if the S happens to b '1' (it isn't btw) then all the S's will be '1'

Have fun with that one 8)

Wow, that was quite a long hit and miss!

"Cross" and "Roads" are 5 letter words, whereas "Danger" is a 6 letter word, therefore C+R >= 10 and so D = 1

R must be an even number. (R = S +S = 2S)

The answer I have have gotten is...

C = 9, R = 6, O = 2, S = 3, A = 5, D = 1, N = 8, G = 7, and E = 4.

9 6 2 3 3
+ 6 2 5 1 3
=1 5 8 7 4 6

Phew!!!

Hello Richard,

That was an interesting brain puzzle, be like working at Bletchley Park.

Darth was too quick for me...

How are you both going with my "rectangle in the triangle"?

Ron.

Well done Darth

Sorry for the delay, I have been gardening and scraping off underseal and my arms ache a lot now

I bet that took you a while LOL

There were some more of those puzzles, I will have to search the further recesses and see if I can remember any more.

Haven't done the triangle thingy yet Ron, been a bit busy.

I thought you would have liked that Cross roads puzzzle as it does have your name in it.
