A + NA + UNA + LUNA = 2022
How quickly can you solve the abovementioned
alphametic using only p&p and a simple, non-scientific calculator?
It took me about 3 minutes.
LUNA
UNA
NA
A
2022
A=3 or 8 (which carries 1 or 3)
N=3 or 7 (which carries 1 or 2, depending on A)
but U+U is even so that carry from N was 2.
U=4 or 9 (which carries 1 or 2)
N=1 (or 0 but leading zero is not allowed)
Since it only carries 1, U=4
Since it carries a 2, N=7
Since it carries a 1, A=3
