HeaRT OF VENUS (Posted on 2011-09-18) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Solve the following alphametic, given that two are primes and one is a composite:

SEVEN - THREE = FOUR

BONUS: Without the restriction of the number of composites and primes in the alphametic, how many different solutions are there?

U V E F O T S R H N
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

SEVEN - THREE = FOUR
62129 - 58722 = 3407

62129 and 3407 are the two primes with 58722 as the composite. Without the restriction of the number of primes and composites there would be 38 possible solutions for the alphametic. Including the solution, those numbers are:

SEVEN THREE FOUR

23938 16533 7405

84346 79244 5102

It might be interesting to note that two of the solutions (where SEVEN=36061) U=9, with the other 36 solutions U=0.
