If the letters T*(RBJBR)=VPLNT each represented a unique digit, and "RBJBR" was a five digit number, what are possible values for the letters? (Or ONE possible value.)

Can we do this in a way that can be done on paper without "guessing and plugging numbers" (or computers, for that matter)?

Got this question as a math challenge from a club, not sure how do go about it.

    This is not so much "cryptography" as it is a "cryptarithm". It's a puzzle.2012-04-19
