Someone e-mailed me this puzzle. Usually I can figure these puzzles out, but this one stumped me. [Wall Bash] I thought I would post it here and see if any of you guys could figure it out. Here it is:

DONALD + GERALD = ROBERT

The hint is that D=5, and all digits 0-9 are represented by letters in the problem.

I was multiplying the numbers together instead of making them into one number. Ok, I feel stupid now. [Blushing] I guess this is what happens when I lack sleep. [Smile]
