From Sphinx Magazine, February 1933
A printer, setting up the division shown above, found that he had only type numbers 7 and 0 which he put in their respective places, and two A‘s, which he used to substitute for a certain digit that appears twice in the dividend; but this same digit was next replaced by asterisks in all other parts of the division. The divisor is equal to the quotient.
Reconstruct the division sum.
