If you will notice when R × R happens, the result is also R
In order to lessen the possible numbers, we are only concerned with the ones digit of the number
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 × × × × × × × × × 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = = = = = = = = = 1 4 9 1 6 2 5 3 6 4 9 6 4 8 1
So, given the numbers 1 to 9 only 1, 5, and 6 fits the criteria
R R 1 1 5 5 6 6 × × × × R 1 5 6 = = = = X Y Z 1 1 2 7 5 3 9 6
And from these, we can see that only R = 5 and R = 6 satisfies the cryptogram.
