Puzzle 49 


The BrainBashers printer isn't working correctly again (I must get it fixed!).

It's started printing O for odd numbers, and E for even numbers.

I know that all of the digits from 0 to 9 are used, and that the top row's digits add to 9.

Can you find the original sum?

EEO + EOO = OEOE

Can you find the book titles hidden in these phrases?

ROME OR OSLO? ANDREW, JULIE, TO VISIT.

AN I MALL? SHOPS, FAR MALLS?
GO NEXT, GO! WITHOUT OTHER I DWINDLE. GO!

For each word in the title, new letters are added of the same length, and then the spacing is changed, and punctuation is added.

For example:
   BOOK TITLE
   BOOK 1234 TITLE 12345
   BOOK NIGH TITLE APTUP
   BOOKNIGHTITLEAPTUP
   BOO, KNIGHT. IT LEAPT UP!
