Hobsons choice(?) (Posted on 2013-10-10)

Multiplying cab*car one gets "fur, ciea & bbec"
as partial results;

Multiplying car*cab we get "car, cotu & bbeu" .

Although the final result is the same, it is you who will decide what is better.

Very nice puzzle! .... Much nicer than you think.

two letters that share the same value,... No,sir. there are are 2 independent alphametics, the letters do not have to correspond to the same sets of digits.

this has no effect on what is better.- as a puzzle one is definitely better than the other, - and it is left to the solver to decide which and why.

Assume that there are no bugs in my text and

either SOLVE IT or WAIT TILL I WILL PUBLISH THE OFFICIAL SOLUTION.
