Long division with zero to nine substitution

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a cryptarithmic long division problem where letters represent unique digits from 0 to 9. The main challenge is to substitute the letters N, K, T, F, A, R, M, B, I, O, and others with digits while adhering to the rules that none of the letters F, N, A, and R can be 0, and that each letter must represent a different digit. The formatting of the problem is clarified, emphasizing that the dots are for layout purposes and do not indicate decimal points or operations. The consensus suggests that the uniqueness of the digits is crucial, and determining which letters can be 0 is relatively straightforward once the constraints are understood.

Substitute the letters by a different digit from 0 to 9 to satisfy this cryptarithmic long division problem.

....N K T
...-------------------
F A R |...F R M N K B
...A K K N
...---------------------
..... A B I K
...AM O K
...---------------
.....R T I B
.....R A K T
...-------------
.....R A F

Note:

(i) None of F, N, A and R can be 0.

(ii) All the dots are posited with a view to facilitate the formatting, and none of the said dots represent decimal points, or correspond to any arithmetic operations.

Actually, I think that as long as you state that none of the letters represent the *same* digit, you don't need to give the hint about which ones aren't 0. Figuring out which is 0 is pretty simple.

A = 2
B = 7
F = 3
I = 0
K = 8
M = 5
N = 9
O = 6
R = 1
T = 4

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
