Ken's POTW


More Money
  1. A poor college student was quite frugal and sent the following telegram to his parents. How much MONEY did he want?

    SEND + MORE = MONEY

  2. A friend of the above student liked the idea, but wanted a little more, so sent a similar telegram. She knew her parents would send the smallest amount possible. How much MONEY did she want?

    SEND + MORE + GOLD = MONEY

In each problem, assume each letter stands for a single digit 0-9. Although a computer can solve these easily, I'm looking for logical solutions.
