Sum Celebrity Concerns (Posted on 2010-07-25) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Solve separately each of these base ten alphametics. None of the numbers (including those covered under functions) corresponding to any of the following alphametics can contain leading zero.

(I) THOMAS+MALTHUS+1766+1834+RR=RRRRRRR, whenever MOST is divisible by 23.

(II) DINAH+SHORE+1916+1994+TT=TTTTT, where:
sod(DEAR)/sod(HEARTS) = 2/3 and, dr(ROSE) = 4

(III) BENNY+BELL+1906+1999+BBB= DR+DE+MENTO, where:
sod(TRY)/sod(BLEND) = 4/9

Note:sod(x) denotes the sum of digits of x and dr(x) denotes the digital root of x.
