How it Started (Eve Did Talk) (Posted on 2003-12-10) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Ever wonder why women talk so much? It all started with Eve, and not only did she talk, but she kept on talking forever (if only through the generations of women to come).

The following equation, in which each letter represents a different digit, shows this phenomenon as an infinitely repeating decimal:
EVE/DID=.TALKTALKTALKTALK...
What number does each letter represent?

That program has a bug in it, in not allowing for a leading zero in TALK; however, correcting that bug doesn't lead to any more solutions.
