Teaser 2519: [Greek alphametic]
From The Sunday Times, 2nd January 2011 [link] [link]
This week’s letters-for-digits Teaser has a Greek theme. All words in capitals are numbers that have been coded by consistently using different letters for different digits.
Our story concerns the prime THALLO (goddess of spring buds), who was also good at sums, and produced:
ALPHA + BETA + GAMMA = OMEGA
What number is represented by OMEGA?
This puzzle was originally published with no title.
This completes the archive of Teaser puzzles originally published in 2011. There is now a complete archive of puzzles (and solutions) from the start of 2011 to present, along with many older puzzles.
