Soln: S+S+S=S if S=0 or 5,
If S=0 => U+U+U=N & S+S+S+1=N or S+S+S+2=N => N=1 or N=2
i.e., O=A it is not possible. So S is not equal to zero.
Take S=5 => S+S+S=S=15(Unit place 5,remaining 1), U+U+U+1=N & S+S+S+1=N or S+S+S+2=N => N=6 or N=7.
if N=6,U+U+U+1=N is not possible.
if N=7,U+U+U+1=N =>U=2 & N+N+N=E => 7+7+7=21 =>E=1.
S+S+S+2=N =>5+5+5+2=17,=>O+1=A & K+1=T => O=9, O+1=9+1=A=10,A=0 & I+I+I+2=G here I>5, If I=6 =>G=0 is not possible.
so I not equal to 6.if 7 and 9 are already taken.so I=8,I+I+I+2=G=8+8+8+2=26 =>G=6.
K+1=T => 3+1=4.
So Here,S=5,U=2,N=7,E=1,I=8,G=6,O=9,A=0,K=3&T=4
so 58725

Q. 6 guys can each carry a maximum of a 10 day ration-supply; they are on the edge of a desert; so they could all walk together straight out into the desert for 5 days, then return home. That's clear! But not much fun.
Well, in order to make this puzzle possible, they decide on a plan of action to send one of them as far as possible straight out into the desert, such that this "chosen one" can then return home, naturally!
Their plan uses 2 strategies:
1- hiding spots for supplies
2- guys giving supplies to other guys
And to make your life easier, the hiding and/or remitting of supplies is always at day's end, and in "packets" of one-day-rations.
Their plan is also such that in total, the least possible packets have been hidden. A packet weighs 7 pounds.
Finally, the guys walk at same speed: 23 miles per day.
How many miles was the "chosen" one able to go into the desert, and how many "pounds" were hidden?
