[kj] Brain teaser

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

I started with the third, as it has the fewest possible values (depending slightly on whether numbers can repeat and whether 0 is allowed).

Took a bit under 5 mins, though I was lucky in that my first guess in the trial-and-error stage turned out to be correct.

I started with the second number, as it's mentioned three times; can't be
ore than 5 (it's not specified that all numbers are different, although
hey are, or how many numbers there are), so straightforward from there.
It's no more donkeywork than a Sudoku (which is a pretty workmanlike puzzle,
mo).

Got it as well. Not too hard, actually. Just a little bit of trial and
rror. Although, I'm sure there is a much more efficient way to the answer
han what I did. I'm sure I worked more "hard" than "smart".

If you like to think:
Jamese Bond was obliged to open a secret safe but didn't know the proper PIN
ode. He knew some indicias which should have helped him to find out the
ode:
-the third and the fifth number sums 14
the fourth number equals the second number plus 1 -the first number is
oubble second number minus 1 -the second number and the third number sums
0 -all numbers sumed together equal 30
Let's show off, solve the code and subscribe yourself to the attached table.
o open the file use the PIN code.

ood Luck
