Number puzzles are very popular with everyone who likes to puzzle over an interesting problem. This allows you not only to have fun, but also to "pump" your logic. The basic principles of solving number puzzles will help you solve the puzzle faster.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that in puzzles where letters represent numbers, one number corresponds to only one specific letter. So, if you found out that A = 5, then one or zero can no longer stand in place of A. If the * ("asterisk") sign is used instead of numbers in the rebus, then it can represent any number, from 0 to 9.
Step 2
Start solving the puzzle with the rule that zero cannot be the leftmost digit in a number. Thus, all letters and signs with which the number in the rebus begins can no longer denote zero. The search circle for the numbers you need will narrow.
Step 3
In the course of the solution, start from basic mathematical rules. For example, multiplying by zero always gives zero, and multiplying any number by one, we get the original number as a result.
Step 4
Pay attention to the sequence of arithmetic operations. If a numerical rebus consists of several rows of signs, it can be solved both vertically and horizontally.
Step 5
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Perhaps they will tell you the right course of action. Do not neglect the brute force method. Some puzzles will require a long step-by-step solution, but in the end you will be rewarded with the right answer and a great warm-up for your quick wits.
