8 eights, 8 ones (Posted on 2019-10-01) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The unordered set S=(1818, 8811, 1881, 1818) represents 4 distinct decimal numbers: A, B, A+B, A-B.
All "8"s denote the same digit while each "1" stands for a different digit, distinct from all the others .

What digit is not used in S ?

The numbers are

3979 9948 1990 5969

so the missing digit is 2.
