6. (3 points) Given the puzzle: AB + BC + DE = FGH. Different letters represent different digits, no digit is equal to 9, and a number cannot start with 0. Find the smallest possible value of FGH.
Answer: 108.

## Solution:

The sum of all the digits at our disposal is 36. Therefore, AB $+\mathrm{B} \Gamma+\mathrm{DE}+$ ZHI is divisible by 9. But AB + BG + DE + ZHI $=2$ ZHI, so ZHI is divisible by 9.

The smallest three-digit number divisible by 9 is 108. Since, for example, $108=25+36+$ 47, this number fits our criteria.
