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
While doing research on the history of the calendar, Professor Abacus discovered a mathematical relationship between MONTH and YEAR. As everyone knows, there are 12 months in a year. Substitute the numerals 1 through 9 for the letters in the following multiplication equation. Each letter can represent only one numeral, and each numeral can only be represented by one letter. Remember, do not use 0 (zero). So as to produce only one possible solution, H is greater than T.
YEAR * 12 = MONTH
YEAR * 12 = MONTH
Answer
6129 * 12 = 73548Hide Answer Show Answer

The only flaw is the equation says 12 years equals a month...
Other than that, good job! How did you go about finding that out? Is there a special technique?

Actually, the equation is correct. When converting from years to months, you multiply the number of years by 12. As to how I created the teaser, I had to do what I am asking everybody else to do - keep substituting numerals for letters until (hopefully) something worked.
