A printer, setting up the following division, found that he had only type numbers

7 and 0 which he put in their respective places, and two A's, which he used to

substitute for a certain digit that appears twice in the dividend; but this same

digit was next replaced by asterisks in all other parts of the division. The divisor

is equal to the quocient.

Two French mathematicians have 8 letter-sized names which,

transformed into figures by means of the key 12-34567890, give

two numbers from which the square roots are extracted.

Herein, below, you'll find what we know about the two operations,

where the letters must be replaced with the corresponding figures.

The key is, in the broad sense, the birthplace of one of the

mathematicians, but not of the other one.

As for their death, it occurred in the century that is the maximum

common divisor of the two names.

left the following note for her:

However, this note made the darling creature smile, as her name, which was

joined to the note. How much is the price of the break-off ?

Waiter! The bill, please...

A group of friends entered a pastry shop whose mark represents an animal

that covets a saucer: "83 5681 734 023569".

Each person took a cup of their favourite drink (four different drinks: the first

4 lines of the bill), plus one pastry, the same order for everybody (the 5th

line).

Finally, the waiter (a cryptarithm buff), brings the bill. The names of the

consumed items, pre-printed in the small note, are in the singular. The digitsreplace the letters and reciprocally.

Reconstruct the mark, the bill, the political opinion of the shop owner:

5816204739, and the author's name: "527", from Lambres, in Pas-de-Calais.
