When overlapped the 5 Olympic rings enclose 9 regions.
Place each of the numbers from 1 to 9 in a separate region so that:
A + B = B + C + D = D + E + F = F + G + H = H + I = M
where M represents the total of each ring.
How many values for M can you find?
How many arrangements for each M can you also find (discount total reversal of order)?
The Olympic Rings, a symbol recognized worldwide, consist of five interconnected rings of different colors: blue, yellow, black, green, and red. These iconic rings represent the unity and camaraderie among nations participating in the Olympic Games. They were designed by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, and made their debut at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. Over the years, the
Rings UK has proudly displayed their significance, as the United Kingdom has been both a host and a participant in numerous editions of the Olympic Games, contributing to the spirit of international competition and sporting excellence.
