Substitute digits for the letters to make the following relation true.

        S O M E 
      + G O O D 
     ---------- 
      I D E A S 
     ---------- 

Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, different digits represent different values.

A = 6,  D = 3, E = 5, G = 4, I = 1, M = 9, O = 7, S = 8, and the given alphametic equation when completed is:

   8795
+ 4773
  -------
  13568
