This 1, too...just to while your time. 2hr limit is way too long.

Assuming each number in the box is unique:

A + B = 8
C - D = 6
A + C = 13
B + C = 8

Four equations in four unknowns...

Now, where's my scientific calculator?

Saan ka nakakabili ng Calculator na puwede gumawa nyan? I remembered back in my high school freshman year that we do it by hand.

By trial & error
A + B = 8

C - D = 6

A + C = 13

B + D = 8

A=3.5
B=4.5
C=9.5
D=3.5

Kudos! I admire your patience.

Solution:

B+D = 8
+
C-D = 6
=
B+C = 14

B+C = 14
-
A+C = 13
=
B-A = 1
B = A+1

Substitute B to equation 1
A + (A+1) = 8
2A = 7
A = 3.5

B = 8 - A = 4.5
C = 13 - A = 9.5
D = 8 - B = 3.5

A and D are not unique after all.

What a shame! I thought I can get away in getting the answer without me solving it manually but this is only good for 3 equations with 3 unknowns.



I think I need to open MATLAB and let the computer do the work for me or perhaps I should exercise my brain. I better look for a pen and paper.

Trial and error? How do you do that? And the answers​ have "decimals"! You must be a genius.
