Replace each of the letters by a different number from 0 to 9 to satisfy the following alphanumeric equation:
(PIN)*(PIN) = BUNDLE
Note: Neither P nor B can be 0.
From initial inspection, PIN falls within the range of 317 to 999. Also, N cannot be 0, 1, 5, or 6. This leaves around 412 possible solutions.
Using Excel to split the squares of PIN into individual digits (B, U, N, D, L, and E), the N digits were compared as well as each of the digits of BUNDLE. A truth statement was made for each condition (N = N, and BUNDLE). Both were determined true for the following pairs of PIN and BUNDLE:
324 104976
487 237169
