Complete the above grid such that:
- Each of the letters K to Z represents a different integer from 1 to 16.
- Each of the columns, each of the rows and each of the main diagonals equals A.
- Each of the 16 letters from K to Z is repeated precisely four times in the above grid.
- A = P*T + R
- Z = 2*R
- N = V/3
- T = Y - (N + K)
- U = S + L
- M*Q + O + K = W + X

re(2): Hint! by Salil)
Like among endless possibilities one possibility is
K=5,L=8,M=10,N=3,O=13,P=11,Q=1,R=2,S=7,T=6,U=15,V=9,W=16,
X=12,Y=14 and Z=4. ( In this also S,L =(7 or 8), M,Q=(10 or 1)
and W,X=(12 OR 16)) still satisfy the equation.
But how do I know this is correct. The 9 clues given are not enough. Pls check.
