Mad Ade's Letter Math #2
Cryptography
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.Cryptography
Substitute digits (0-9) for the letters to make the following addition true.
Mars + Venus + Uranus + Saturn = Neptune
Keep in mind that the first number of each word is NOT a 0 (zero) and if x=4 then all x's are 4 and so on.

It may not take very long to write that since all you have to do is think of numbers to put in, but it sure took me a lot of time!
Seen one, seen em all!
I suppose if we all adopted that logic, then this site would consist of about 50 teasers, but each to their own
Personally, I like this kind of teaser, provided that the words share some common linkage. It is not that easy to create a math teaser with this requirement where the math will fit. It is probably harder to create the problem than to solve it. Variation of a theme? Yes. So what? The problem is still unique.
Cnmne, i second that, very well said. I love this kind of teaser, and i suppose that many who don't understand cryptograms unfortunately don't know it needs a pen and paper. I for one love to "get my brain tangled" with them
