Question 391884:  Cryptic Math 
 
 
P 
 	Q	R 
S 
 	T	U 
V	W	X 
  
  
1.     Each letter stands for one of the numbers 1  - 9. 
2.     S + Q = V and S is smaller than Q. 
3.     P = R + U. 
4.     In one of the diagonals, all 3 numbers are perfect squares. 
5.     In one of the two diagonals, (P, T, X or R, T, V) the 3 numbers are in ascending order when read from top to bottom, and each is evenly divisible by the same number, a number larger than 1. 
  
                   WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS?
