Answer:
7 4 2 9
+ 0 8 1 4
------------
0 8 2 4 3
S E N D
+ M O R E
-----------
M O N E Y
S=9
E=5
N=6
D=7
M=1
O=0
R=8
Y=2
Thus, 9567+1085=10652
I worked out the second comment there.
S E N D
+M O R E
________
M O N E Y
I thought, S + M > 10 because the M in MONEY must come from carrying the 1 from S + M. Therefore, M = 1. I reasoned 1 + S >= 10, therefore S = 9. This makes O = 0. You get the idea from that. But AMAZINGLY, a second answer has been worked out. Kudos.
