解析 · Solution
Solution 1
Looking at the vertical column, the three numbers sum to 23. If we make the numbers on either end 9 and 8 in some order, the middle number will be 6. This is the minimum for the intersection.
Looking at the horizontal row, the four numbers sum to 12. If we minimize the three numbers on the right to 123, the first number has a maximum value of 6. This is the maximum for the intersection
Thus, the minimum of the intersection is 6, and the maximum of the intersection is 6. This means the intersection must be 6, and the other numbers must be 9 and 8 in the column, and 123 in the row. The sum of all the numbers is .
