13.--A NEW MONEY PUZZLE.

The largest sum of money that can be written in pounds, shillings,

pence, and farthings, using each of the nine digits once and only once,

is £98,765, 4s. 3½d. Now, try to discover the smallest sum of money

that can be written down under precisely the same conditions. There must

be some value given for each denomination--pounds, shillings, pence,

and farthings--and the nought may not be used. It requires just a little

judgment and thought.
