Anyone know how to use Mathematic to solve Alphametics puzzles?
For example, the sum

   B A S E
+  B A L L
-------------------
 G A M E S

has only one solution in base 10. I've tried several ways of represent this
"sum" in Mathematica but have not been able to get it to solve it.

There are lots of other examples of these puzzles at

if anyone is interested.

Cheers,
David Jameson
