Re: [math-fun] Mild puzzle

Presumably you insist on at least one "+" on the LHS --- otherwise a trivial solution is 9876543210 ?! WFL On 1/21/12, David Wilson <davidwwilson@comcast.net> wrote:

Consider equations like the following:

0+4+8+27+96=135

with an addition expression on the left side and a sum on the right side, in which each digit occurs exactly once.

If you don't like 0 as a term, you can usually find another expression with same sum value:

2+6+9+48+70=135

Suppose, however, that the 0 term cannot be eliminated.

What is the sum?
