Brain Teasers
Four Quarts
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
Make the following equation correct by replacing each letter with a numeral (0 through 9). Each letter can represent only one numeral, and each numeral can only be represented by one letter. There are no leading 0's. Since there are only nine different letters, one numeral will not be used. So as to produce only one possible solution, G is not 3.
QUART + QUART + QUART + QUART = GALLON
QUART + QUART + QUART + QUART = GALLON

I didn't actually understand how to solve it until I looked at the answer.
I did, I got it, and my head hurts...I may not get the rebus ones, but math based stuff like this....I can eventually get. Good one!
WHO SHOT THE DUCK?
I found two other possible solutions: 87524 = QUART with 350096 = GALLON, and 79152 = QUART with 316608 = GALLON.
I enjoyed this puzzle! Thanks!

*Yawn* Too hard for my liking.
I got this right but I also came up with 87524 +87524+87524+87524=350096.
