HE SET THE ---- TEST The sum is 4 digits; the addends are all 2 or 3 digits; so T must be 1. HE SE1 1HE ---- 1ES1 In the units column, E+1+E yields sum 1, so E is either 0 or 5. But E=5 as the second digit of the sum is not possible, so E is 0. H0 S01 1H0 ---- 10S1 In the hundreds column, S+1 plus possibly a carry of 1 yields 0, so S is either 8 or 9. But in the tens column, H+0+H yields S, so S is even. So S is 8. H0 801 1H0 ---- 1081 ANSWER: TEST = 1081 Note that we can get some more practice with logical reasoning by finishing the addition problem. In the tens column, H + 0 + H yields 8, so H is either 4 (4+4=8) or 9 (9+9=18). But in the hundreds column a carry of 1 is needed, so H is 9. 90 801 190 ---- 1081
