September 2013 Brain Teaser Solution

Q:
   SEND
+MORE
MONEY

  9567
+1085
10652
Figure out what number each letter stands for in the sum above.  Each letter represents its own digit (0-9) and multiple occurrences of the same letter represent the same digit.

M must be 1 as the two four digit numbers add up to a five digit number.  The highest four digit number is 9999 and if you add it twice you would get 19998.So M = 1
