All divisible by 7 (Posted on 2008-11-04) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Imagine a rectangle divided into 3x4 squares, and put a digit in each square.
     +---+---+---+---+
     | a | b | c | d |  A
     +---+---+---+---+
     | e | f | g | h |  B
     +---+---+---+---+
     | i | j | k | l |  C
     +---+---+---+---+
       D   E   F   G
The number abcd is denoted by A, that is, A = 1000a + 100b + 10c + d, and the same for the other 2 horizontal numbers B and C.

The number aei is denoted by D, that is, D = 100a + 10e + i, and the same for the other 3 vertical numbers E, F and G.

Prove that if any 6 of these numbers (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) are divisible by 7, then the last number must also be divisible by 7.
