Seven Multiple Muse (Posted on 2013-12-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Fill up the the 20 empty boxes in the figure shown below, using the 10 base ten digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 each occurring exactly twice such that:

(a) Each horizontal number is a multiple of 7.
(b) Each vertical number is a multiple of 7.
(c) The total sum of all the horizontal and vertical numbers is the maximum of all such arrangements satisfying both (a) and (b).

Note: As the figure shows, the bottom row should be considered as two 2-digit numbers rather than a single 4-digit number.

finds as the last two entries (with therefore the largest total), these, with a grand total of 10,019,520 each (I've manually blanked out the extraneous zeros printed from grid locations not in the puzzle area):
