It's the weekend, so why don't we enjoy ourselves, forget about politics, and turn to the lighter side of the news?
You may or may not have heard about this, but Apple, Inc. founder and CEO Steve Jobs' death was reported earlier this week. How can I call this the lighter side of the news? It turned out that the reports of Steve Jobs being dead were false.
On it's own, this might have been just a mildly interesting story. Just a few days earlier, though, Dolly Parton's death was also falsely reported!
Yes, many famous people have had premature obituaries printed about them, but two such mistakes happening so closely together is unusual (not counting the CNN.com incident).
While you work on the puzzle below, I'm going to double check the status of Abe Vigoda and Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
Click here to see the rules for this puzzle.
The rules are as follows:
• Each letter represents only one digit, 0-9, throughout the problem.
• Different letters represent different digits, and no two letters represent the same digit.
• Any letter that represents the leftmost digit in a number never represents 0.
• When solved, the equation must be true.
• There is only one possible solution.
To start solving the problem, click on any box, and change that box's letter to a number, and then hit the tab key. If that letter appears more than once, the other instances of that same letter will also be changed to that same number. You won't be alerted if you enter the same digit for two different letters, so be careful!
The Hint button will tell you one digit, and which letter represents that digit. The Restore button will set each text box back to its original letter. The Check button will let you know whether your solution is correct.
Let everyone know how you did in the comments!
