Riddle Solver – Medium

Convert words into structure: totals become “=”, “and” often becomes “+”, and “identical” means the same variable repeats.

Good habits for Medium:

  • Write your equations first, even if you’re not sure how to solve yet.
  • Choose one variable to eliminate (make the coefficients match by multiplying an equation if needed).
  • Solve for one variable, then back-substitute for the other.
