A Numeric Mix (Posted on 2009-12-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The letters A to J have been assigned values for 0 to 9 but not in that order.

G,I and C, not necessarily in that order, are increasingly consecutive digits as are F, B, J and A.
A 3-digit triangular number contains the values of A, C and F.
In some order E, G and J form two 3-digit squares while B, D and G treated similarly would yield three 3-digit squares.

1. Determine the values assigned to each letter.
2. Determine which sets of 6 letters may be arranged so that they form two 3-digit numbers where the values in one rise consecutively, those of the second decrease consecutively and their sum is a 4-digit palindrome.

1. (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J) = (3,1,7,9,5,0,6,4,8,2)
2. 1221 = 234 + 987 = (JAH + DIC)
           or 345 + 876 = (AHE + ICG)
           or 678 + 543 = (GCI + EHA)
           or 789 + 432 = (CID + HAJ)
Therefore the sets of 6 letters are (A,C,D,H,I,J) and (A,C,E,G,H,I).
