Q: Having an expression:
A B C D
+ B C D
--------------
E F G H I
where each letter A-I represents different digit number 0-9.
Then which number is absent in above expression?
A: It is easy to see that E = 1, A = 9, F = 0,
we can also see that 5 can not be in BCDI, as otherwise either 0 or 1 will be in GHI.
if 5 in H, then C is 7, and BCD= 678 or 876 ==> 2*BCD = 1356 or 1752, which is not possible.
if 5 in G, then B is 7, and BCD =768 or 786==> 2*BCD = 1536 or 1572, which is not possible either.
so 5 is absent.

when G=5, B=7, how about BCD=764 or BCD=782?, then 3 is absent.
