In a 'Feynman Long Division Puzzle' each digit of a long division has been replaced by a dot or the letter A (which stands for a unique digit). None of the dots are the same as the A digit. The goal is to reconstruct the original figures (by any means necessary).

As an example, the original puzzle (first published in the May 1936 by W. F. Cheney, Jr):
has solution:
All care has been taken for these puzzles to be correct in the sense that they have a solution, that the solution is unique, and that the puzzle renders correctly. None of the above are however guaranteed.
I currently have no plans to publish official solutions.

Is there a bug in your program? This puzzle seems to be a bit mangled, as do some earlier ones (66, 58). Perhaps the formatting goes wrong when there's a zero in the answer, or something?
That should work now.
Yes, there's a small bug in the rendering for some puzzles - When the right most digit in the top line is zero. I will get round to fixing it at some stage, but I probably won't get time until mid January.
BTW, Thanks for trying them! Hope you're having fun.
Yes thanks, I enjoy giving my brain a work out now and then, although they don't always submit to my logic; I have written a brute force Excel/VBA solver for such cases!
But I'm still having problems with this one - the AoAoo-Aooo=Aoo bit doesn't work.
