-=Today's Puzzle:
Molly Ride, pilot of the spacecraft, knew that some Martians
were truth-tellers and some were not. So when she came face to
face with three of them, she asked, "Are you truth-tellers?"
The finned Martian answered her by rubbing his stomach, His
friend a tall Martian with feathered ears, told her that the
finned Martian had said he was a truth-teller. However, the
other Martian, who had horns, said that the finned Martian
was lying,
How many of these Martians were liars?*
-=Yesterday's Answer:
Equal Products - From 1) and 2): No letter can be 0, 5, or 7.
The product for each row, then, is a multiple of 1, 2, 3, 4,
6, 8, and 9. So the smallest possible product is 8 x 9 or 72
and the product is a multiple of 72. But the product cannot
be any of 72 x 2, 72 x 3, etc. because it is not possible to
get a product larger than 72 three times. So the product is 72.
Then:
72 = 1 x 8 x 9 = 2 x 36
= 2 x 4 x 9 = 3 x 24
= 3 x 4 x 6
Because 4 and 9 are used twice, B or E is 4 and the other is 9.
So G is 2.
A possible arrangement of digits is:
6 8
4 2 9
3 1
