SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the cryptarithmetic equation (SIX) * (TWO) = (TWELVE), where each letter represents a unique decimal digit from 0 to 9. The additional constraint is that T + W = V, ensuring that the sum of the digits T and W equals the digit V. The solution was derived through a brute force method, confirming that no leading zeros are present in the numbers represented by SIX, TWO, and TWELVE.

Substitute each of the letters by a different decimal digit from 0 to 9 to satisfy the following set of cryptarithmetic equations:

(SIX)*(TWO) = TWELVE, and:

T + W = V

where, none of SIX, TWO and TWELVE can contain any leading zero.
