Today’s Challenge
. . . is a MATHELONA number puzzle where you must solve all four lines arithmetically by replacing the 16 ◯’s below with digits 0-9.
Each digit 0-9 can only be inserted a maximum of TWICE in the whole puzzle:
◯ + ◯ = 5 = ◯ + ◯
◯ + ◯ = 3 = ◯ – ◯
◯ + ◯ = 10 = ◯ × ◯
◯ + ◯ = 1 = ◯ ÷ ◯
