Here is the puzzle.
` S V L
+ T I A
+ A G N
________
= Y I T
S=5, V>G, L>G.
Please let me know if you can solve it! So far, its been very difficult.

There is no unique solution, or rather there are 4 solutions.Quote:

HINT: 2 solutions total 902, 2 solutions total 982.
How is that possible? S=5, so each solution has to be at least 500, right? So they can't add up to 902 or 982.
Huh? You obviously do not know what kind of problem this is...Quote:

Oh, an Alphametic. I see what it is but I still do not understand how to actually solve them.
Trial and error, plus logic...no formula...
You also might like to pay attention to all the conditions given in the question, we have made a number of assumptions about what are usual side conditions.Quote:
