    Can you replace the letters in the multiplication sum below to make a valid
    calculation? Each letter represents one number only and each number is
    represented by only 1 letter.


    TWO
    *TWO
    ----------
    THREE

    Answer

    138 x 138 = 19044, that is T = 1, W = 3, H = 9, R= 0, E = 4 and O = 8
