Taking the 5th (Posted on 2009-05-03) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A5 + B5 + C5 + D5 + E5 = ABCDE

where each separate letter represents a different digit and A is not zero.

What is ABCDE?

(In reply to Different signs by FrankM)

You bring up a good point, in my solution I assumed that this was a alphametic solution but on second look it is not stated that it is in the problem description although I could argue it is implied by the formating of the equation by ave ABCDE instead of A*B*C*D*E.  If not viewed as an alphametic equation then I agree there can not be an solutions other than the trivial all zeros which is excluded by not allowing A=0.
