>Although in a problem like "ABCD * 4 = DCBA" you can write a VFP program to test through all the possibilities, and it might even find the solution quickly, the fun part, for a human, is to apply logic, and eliminate some possibilities (e.g., in Annabel, A = 4 is too high, because it gives a four-digit result; A = 1 would give repeated digits; this only leaves 2 or 3 for the first digit).
