If any three consecutive digits sum to 20, then the digit between the 7 and the 4 must be 9. Then the digit preceeding the 7 has to be 4, preceeding that 9, and so on. The digits repeat in a pattern, going backwards 4, 9, 7. Going to the 12th digit from the right, the 7 is given, the digit between that 7 and the A must be 4, and the digit represented by the A must then be 9.
