Hello everyone,

I'm Kimbat. I intend running mathematics puzzle thread here on Nairaland. I'll be posting questions here on this thread and the first to answer correctly gets to go home with a cash prize. It's going to be a playground for the math gurus.

For the first question with a cash prize tag of N10000, I have attached photo of a mathematical puzzle. You think you're good? then let's have your answer. All answers should be posted here on this thread. You may type directly or post a screenshot (preferred option).

More puzzles would be dropped on the forum subsequently.

Meanwhile...a little tip of wala on this puzzle" the more you think, the less you understand" lol

FIRST PUZZLE:

ABA can either be 575 or 525

If ABA is 575, then, A = 5, B = 7, C = 2 and D = 8.
i.e 575 + 575 + 575 + 575 + 575 = 2875

Also, if ABA is 525, then, A = 5, B = 2, C = 2 and D = 6.
i.e 525 + 525 + 525 + 525 + 525 = 2625

Therefore the first puzzle has more than one solution



SECOND PUZZLE:

MUX is equivalent to 721

That is; M = 7, U = 2, X = 1 and Y = 4.
i.e 721 + 721 = 1442

Therefore the second puzzle also has just one solution
