The two tables represent two scenarios of the same problem.

All Alphanumeric Values Tot V 20 C 92 I U E O O E E A O A C 70 V 15 40 54 37 42 24 Vowels from 1 to 5 Tot V 6 C 92 I U E O O E E A O A C 70 V 6 37 43 34 36 24

Add ten consonants [orange] to form five 4-letter words vertically of the structure CVVC.

When some vowels are added appropriately [yellow], the orange and yellow cells, when read in a left to right manner form a sentence which has some relevance to the title. Such vowels precede the consonants to which they are vertically paired in the table. Of those vowels only one is duplicated.

In the first table all letters are valued A-Z from 1 to 26. In the second table the vowels have ascending values from 1 to 5.

The green cells represent the column sums of values of all absent letters.

What is the sentence?

On reading cell order of sentence. If the first two vowels occur in the second and fourth yellow cells the sentence would begin CVCCVC.

at first when I read Dej Mar's solution the sentence "posers test a mind" did not make sense to me.  This was because until now the only definition of poser I was aware of was as a derogatory insult.  Upon further investigation I found another definition in the dictionary: a baffling question or problem.  That second definition makes much more sense in the context of the sentence.  I just thought I would share this bit of insight for those who were confused by the sentence as I was.
