Invoke: Maths Ufies - solution possible? by poolya2011-02-17 09:50:11
  A solution: by Ascag 2011-02-17 10:56:10
a = 480
b = 640
c = 660
d = 695
e = 790

I found these by a pseudo-brute force try. My first guess proved to be correct, luckily (a+b = 1120, a+c = 1140, b+c = 1300. Once you have solved these, d and e follow immediately, and everything fits together.)

Now I will look whether I can find any rational method of finding the solution without brute-force.
