I have established with paper and pencil that there are at least 20 solutions. This is, then, a lower limit. But what about the upper limit.

Above all, this line can have more than one solutions:

Cheers!
One of these solutions is correct, but the other is wrong. Hint: age has a dimension.

Ed,
I have an online Java applet that solve for all possible solutions of the 'Challenger puzzle', the cross sums type of puzzle that appears in some daily newspapers.
