Joyce Wrote:
I first wrote all of the three times tables up to 9 because the letters could not be 2 digits. Then, I thought that Ex3 must end with 1 and the only 3 times table up 9 that ends with a 1 is 21, and that means E=7 and I carried the 2 on top of the D, and put 7 into brackets on both E's. Then I knew that the next number must end with 7, but has to be added to the carried 2, so it ends with 5. The only 3 times table up to nine that ends with 5 is 15, and 15/3=5, so D=5. Then I repeated the process until I get the answer.

At first, I thought that A was 3, B was 12, C was 8, D was 5, E was 7, F was 6, G was 2, H was 7, I was 1, and J was 4. But then, I realised that I was wrong because it said that each letter represented only 1 digit. But because I forgot about that rule, I thought that B was 12 but that couldn't be it because 12 had 2 digits. So I checked with my friend Joyce and she explained how she got the right answer. I realised that I was wrong and I got muddled up with the numbers so now I think A=4, B=2, C=8, D=5, E=7, F=8, G=5, H=7, I=1, and J=4.
