There are two possible solutions to this problem: Option 1: A = 289 and B = 764 Option 2: A = 788 and B = 264 In both cases the sum is 1053

Seen like this. (As idk what language will you use) for (int A = 100; A < 1000; A++) for (int B = 100; B < 1000; B++) { if (A % 10 == 9 && (B/10)%10 == 6 && (A+B)/100%10 == 0) print("%d, %d" A, B); } (And additional loops to check for 1 to 9

You know that 'a' is a three digit number that ends in a 9, so you can use for(int a=109; a < 1000; a+= 10) in your loop. For 'b' you could do something like: for(int i=100; i<1000; i+=100) { for(int j=0; j<10; j++) { b = i+60+j; } } (there might be a better way, not sure). Seems complicated, but spares you thousands of unnecessary comparisons and calculations.

Use loops. check each the number until found the condition you want.

You need to put digits 1234578 in the right order onto the points. So generate all the permutations (7! Altogether), place it one by one, then check the addition.
