1+1=2
ONE + ONE = TWO
Using neither of the numbers 1 or 2, replace each letter of the equation to make it true. Also, no letter is equal to zero.
If so, what is WETTEN?

Answer
467+467=934WETTEN = 379976
O has to be less than five but greater than two, because TWO has three digits, not four. It has to be even, so it must be 4.
E can't be two, so it is 7.
N can't be one, or two, or five. It can't be three or eight, as this would make W equal E. It can't be nine, since this would make N equal W.
From there on out, the equation is easily solved.
E-7
N-6
O-4
T-9
W-3

I made an A in maths all through HS (including algebra) and, for the life of me, can't remember how I did it.
I could NOT solve this teaser.
Fun, though.
So I go to bed each night, with prayers for my Dad's peace (he died in 200, for my Bro's remission (terminal PSD), and for the fact that I got through another day without algebra.

ps - this is comment #01. We'll see.

Great teaser duhya! I solved it within about 4 minutes. Definitely took some thinking.
So this is what it is like to have three comments on a teaser.
I feel so warm and fuzzy!
Thanks! Virtual cookies to you three

Whaaaatt????
It came as an unstated fact, but perhaps this should include "No two letters may stand for the same number".
Great teaser all the same.

I must be missing something. What about 231 + 231 = 462?
