I don't know if anyone's seen this type of puzzle before... they're printed in some newspapers under the name 'Add Them Up'. At any rate, my math teacher prints off a bunch and we can do them for bonus marks on our calculus tests. Now all my tests are like 95 except for one really bad one, and the cross sum puzzles are really hard, so I'm having trouble getting the bonus marks for that test...
So basically I'm writing an algorithm to solve them for me. It's not really cheating, because I still have to think a lot, but the computer can use some 'brute force' tactics that aren't possible manually.
Anyhow, I'll you posted on this project. Should be done in the next couple days.
