Riddler's Brainteasers...episode 1

[Riddler]

Methinks someone wants another riddle.......hmmmm ?



It was puzzle time down the Pig and Bucket. "It's a real digital dilemma," remarked Bert as he supped his ale. Alf had the self-satisfied smile, he always wore when he was confident he had Bert over a barrel. Alf had drawn the equation below on card and given Bert the digits 1-6. Bert had to put two digits on each line, using each digit once and once only, to make a valid equation.

____ + ____ = ____


Using only the six digits and no further symbols, in how many ways can it be done? ...

Each word in the note may be preceded by a G.

i got 41 + 25 = 66


35 + 41 = 76

@ ilw...it is.

@ scribblec.......each digit from 1 to 6 only once each

If the sum of the answer's digits is odd, then the digits on the other side add up even. Likewise if answers even the others add up odd. so it won't work, at best your one off

Edit: ok so that must be wrong, or is there trickery afoot?

(I think?) Or is there trickery afoot?

....afoot, ahand, and anelbow.

HINT;
There's another way to make a number from two digits using no other symbols, apart from side by side.

I give up on the horse one
