I was curious how many solutions there might be, so I wrote a program that determined there to be exactly 6 unique solutions.

I did realize that the sum of the top row must equal the sum of the two ends of the bottom row plus twice the sum of the middle three. So this led to me the solution that Brian Q was referring to. There may be others.MathManTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750380337360528440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-62370989765633667252019-06-28T10:30:02.822-05:002019-06-28T10:30:02.822-05:00I have a slightly different solution.

But since I like to know for sure that it's possible, I try to solve them before I give them out. <br /><br />Spoilers ahead! I've only found one solution so far, and was curious if it was the same as Sarah's. I have in the top row 5, 7, 9, 8. Is that the same one you found, Sarah?Brian Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00772016829718427294noreply@blogger.com
