one/five = .two (Posted on 2008-11-24) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Substitute each of the small letters in bold by a different decimal digit from 0 to 9 to satisfy this alphametic equation:

(one)/(five) = .two

where, none of o, f and t is zero, and the 3-digit number represented by two is even.

Note: Try to derive a non computer-assisted solution, although computer program/spreadsheet solutions are welcome.
