Given 'D=5' (If not given assume D=5 at initial stage)
6 5 4 3 2 1
D O N A L D
+ G E R A L D
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5
-----------------------------
R O B E R T
1. 'D=5' is assumed, so 'D+D=T' therefore 'T=0' & 'c5=1'.
2. In column 5 'O+E=O' as 'T=0' so E cannot be 0, therefore 'E=9'.
'O+9=O' is possible if 'c2=1'. Therefore 'c2=1'.
3. In column 3 'A+A=9', but addition of any 2 same number is
always even, given that addition is 9 which is possible when
there is carry. Therefore 'c4=1', so 'A=4'.
4. Remaining numbers to be assigned are {1,2,3,6,7,8} to {O,N,R,B,L,G}.5. We have 'E=9' & 'c2=1' so from column 5 we get 'c1=1'. Also from
column2 we have 'L+L+c5=R' where 'c5=1' therefore R is odd so R can
be 1or3or7. As 'D+G' does not generate carry shown in column 6 so R
cannot be 1or3. Therefore 'R=7' & 'G=1'.
6. We have 'R=7' so from column 2 we have 'L+L+1=17', therefore 'L=8'.be 1or3or7. As 'D+G' does not generate carry shown in column 6 so R
cannot be 1or3. Therefore 'R=7' & 'G=1'.
7. From column 3 we get that 'A+A+c4=E' and so there is no carry,
therefore 'c3=0'.
8. From column 4 we get 'N+R+c3=B' we have R=7 & 'c3=0',
so 'N+7=10+B', therefore 'N=B+3'. {2,3,6} are remaining to be
assigned so to satisfy the constraint 'N=B+3' we get 'B=3' & 'N=6'.
9. And remaining 'O=2'.so 'N+7=10+B', therefore 'N=B+3'. {2,3,6} are remaining to be
assigned so to satisfy the constraint 'N=B+3' we get 'B=3' & 'N=6'.
