Solution
is a perfect square and is more than . The perfect squares from to inclusive are and . Since is one more than , cannot be equal to (since ), and so and . is the largest prime number in the set, and so . is a multiple of both and . Since , then and is equal to either or (since is a multiple of each of these). The value of is even, and since , then . The letters which have not been assigned values are , and , and the integers which have not been assigned are , and . Since and are in the same row and and are the two remaining unassigned letters that are in the same row, then and are and in some order, which leaves .
