I don't know if there is a shorter method than to use the process of elimination. I am not sure if it is possible that it might have more than one solution. Anyways, it seems the sequence 9 3 1 8 4 * * 7 * * 2 6 5 works.

It is right uptil the 7th line. After that it's wrong, I am afraid !

If the object and Earth experience the same force for the same time, am i right in assuming that the Earth's contribution to that force is much more than what the object may contribute to that force?

I saw this puzzle on the last page of the book titled "mathematical mysteries:the beauty and mathematics of numbers" by Calvin C Clawson. I broke my head over it for awhile. And eventually couldn't resist the temptation to check the solution. Though the solution was there, plain and bare, there...
