Fill in the ten circles of the star with the numbers 0 to 9.
The sum of the four numbers in each of the five straight lines is
shown in the diagam below.
Please send in your answers using the letters below.
Use the format:
A =
B =
etc.
Solution to the Problem:
B = 6
C = 5
D = 3
E = 0
F = 4
G = 1
H = 8
I = 2
J = 7
To solve the Star puzzle, note that 28 can only be formed in two ways:
9 + 8 + 7 + 4 = 28 or 9 + 8 + 6 + 5 = 28
The number 8 can only be formed in two ways:
0 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 or 0 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 8
The intersection of the two lines whose sums are 28 and 8 is the circle
marked F and it must be either a 4 or a 5.
Trying the first possibility, A = 9, H = 8, F = 4, and J = 7.
Then G = 1, E = 0, and D =3.
The number 23 can only be formed in seven ways, and cannot use both a 9
and an 8.
Continue wih this logic to solve the star.
