Where did it say that C is not equal to D? That's why I clicked 2. You've got to say that.

The problem states that C and D are distinct digits. If it stated that C and D could be equal, then 2 could have been a solution, but there would not have been enough information in the problem to solve that.
i am in complete accord with you.
yey i am the 1 of correct this question.
when we have to resolve a problem, and information was given that not enuf. we should use common sense in addition.
but ok ! i agree with you. this is brilliant.org and it is topic about mathematics. they should be give more rule or some important info.
ps. common sense
it said that they are distinct digits.
C and D are distinct digits if they are the same WHY ARE THEY DIFFERENT LETTERS
I also have the same question as Boozing Widow: on the facebook, the problem did not stated that C and D are distinct numbers.
I also applied the same logic and solved the problem to arrive at the value of c as 7. However, I solved it mentally.
C C + C = 1 1 C + C = 1 2 C
So D 4 must be divisible by 1 2 thus D 4 = 2 4 or 8 4 .
If D = 2 then 1 2 C = 2 4 so that C = 1 2 2 4 = 2 but C and D need to be distinct.
So D = 8 such that 1 2 C = 8 4 where C = 1 2 8 4 = 7 .
Simple, you have to get 4 at units place by adding same digits. This can be done by either using 2 or 7 i.e.C=2 or 7. When adding 2 and 2 , although result will be 4 but at ten's place of answer(i.e. D) we have to get a different no. Means a no which will yield carry at unit's digit i.e. 7. Add 7 and 7, you will get 4 and carry 1. Add this carry with 7 and you get 8. Therefore, C=7 and D=8.
that's really good
if we try the c 2=4 we find 2 but then c have to equal d, and that's unacceptable, so we need c 2=a 4 , where a is a digit, and then we get 7*2=14.
The lowest place value digit of the sum D 4 is the clue. C + C in the units column causes a carry-over of 1 to the next place value, incrementing the C on the left to a D on the number line implied by the problem statement.
Only 2 and 7 are possible values of C that result in a 4 in the units place of the sum. Only 7 as a value for C would cause a carry-over of 1 when evaluating C + C C .
let X be the carry, C + C = X4, then X + C = D, but C and D are consecutive whole numbers, so we can say D = C + 1, from X + C = D = C + 1, therefore X = 1... from C +C = X4 , 2C = 14, then C = 7
This is easy. So since 2C =4 we can try C = 2 but it will not work so it should be 2C = 14 and C is 7
My solution: x + ( 1 0 x + x ) = ( x + 1 ) 1 0 + 4
1 2 x = 1 0 x + 1 4
2 x = 1 4
x = 7
Edit: D = C + 1 because the largest single digit is 9, for example the last digits are both 9, then we have 18, so you can carry the '1'. It is also C + 1 because in the problem it was shown that from C it turned to D, so there is a change of digit.
Well, the crucial part is first explaining why we must have D = C + 1 .
When C = 2 The answer is 24 It is false, Because D = 2, So C = 7. Then D= 8: 7 + 77 = 84.
cc+c=d4; so cc+c should result in a number that ends in 4 so ether 7 or 2 then since the result is d4 that means by adding the two c's it should result in a number larger then ten so 7 fits the bill because 7+7=14 while 2+2=4 // 22+2=24 would not work since the d would be c but 77+7=84 does because d remains ect.. I don't really care though....
44+4 and 99+9 are not equal to 10D+4. If C=2, then 22+2=24. However, since C and D are distinct, D is not equal to 2. If C=7, then 77+7=84, giving you D=8, which is distinct from 7.
it is way complicated. The simple answer is C is a number 1 less than D. C cannot be 2 as no doubt it will make 4 but you will not be able to get 1 number high value for D. in case of giving value of 7 to C you can satisfy the condition of 4 and D's value will be 8 which is 1 is 1 number higher than C. I used this rule all the similar questions and got answer right every time. for example if A is 3, B will be 4, C =5
simply! there're 4 possible answers, test one by one, then find 7+77=84

C + C C = D 4
Now, For this to be true, C can be Either 2 or 7 (Because the units digit is 4)
Case 1: C is 2
The crytarithm Becomes:- 2 + 2 2 = 2 4
Here, D becomes 2, And since C and D are distinct, The above crytarithm becomes false.
Case 2; When C is 7
The crytarithm Becomes:- 7 + 7 7 = 8 4
The crytarithm above satisfies all the given conditions
Hence, The only value of C can be 7
