All the seven figures and the eight "dots" (see above) should be used to add up to 82.
Source: A famous $1000 prize problem that Sam Loyd issued in 1882.
(In reply to
a solution that Sam may have unrealized by Dej Mar)
The original Sam Loyd representation was:
. . . . .
80.5 + .46 + .97 = 82
True, overdot is very difficult to represent in ASCII. I used common sense to depict a very near display of overdot.
The corresponding vinculum display is more precise as follows:
_ __ __
80.5 + .46 + .97 = 82
Looking forward to your super- erudite comment regarding the inconsiderable effort on my part relating to the foregoing.
