A - B = C * D : E = F = G + H = I Solution: First of all no variable can be zero. Therewise two variables would be equal. The key are the two multiplications. C * F = I E * F = D As only two products 2*3 and 2*4 are smaller than 10 we get the two cases: F = 2, C = 3, E = 4 and F = 2, C = 4, E = 3. The rest is easily filled in. The second case gives the unique solution 9 - 5 = 4 * 6 : 3 = 2 = 1 + 7 = 8
