Chacun à son goût ! (Posted on 2019-02-18) Difficulty: 3 of 5
In an "old school" projection booth two goats were munching a celluloid version of "Gone with the wind".
After a while both agreed that the book was definitely better.

Assuming that the quality ratio is 9 (according to my taste) list all possible solutions (19, I believe) of the following alphametic:

STORY/FILM=9 ....... (i)

Rem: 3 solutions out of 19 are zero-free !


d4 Bonus:
Instead of the number 9 select another integer N and define #(N) as the number of distinct solutions of the alphametic (i) with a ratio n.

Solve the alphametic.
List the values of #(N) for N=2,3,4,....8.

The only change to the code was making the string not include a zero:

st$ = "123456789"

and of course I tested for 8's to be displayed.

The solution for 68, the largest, is 98736/1452.
