We know that n+m+s+carry < 10. So n<7. We also know that either n+n+n or o+o+o > 9 because there must be a carry to make those two columns add to a different value. We can start eliminating values for n. If n is 1, o would have to be 7 to make the second row work out. But then u and e would both be

I have a way to save 19. Let each prisoner have his own private variable C, which he initializes to RED if he sees an odd number of red hats, or to BLACK if he sees an even number of red hats. The last man in the row announces his C. Every time someone announces the color RED, everyone ahead of him

They agree on the following plan: The prisoner at the back of the line counts up the number of red hats he sees. If the number is odd, he says "Red". If it is even, he says "Black". Now the 19th prisoner can count the red hats he sees. He can deduce what color his hat must be to make the total od
