Problem
Each of the points 
and 
in the figure below represents a different digit from 
to 
Each of the five lines shown passes through some of these points. The digits along each line are added to produce five sums, one for each line. The total of the five sums is 
What is the digit represented by 
![[asy] size(200); dotfactor = 10; pair p1 = (-28,0); pair p2 = (-111,213); draw(p1--p2,linewidth(1)); pair p3 = (-160,0); pair p4 = (-244,213); draw(p3--p4,linewidth(1)); pair p5 = (-316,0); pair p6 = (-67,213); draw(p5--p6,linewidth(1)); pair p7 = (0, 68); pair p8 = (-350,10); draw(p7--p8,linewidth(1)); pair p9 = (0, 150); pair p10 = (-350, 62); draw(p9--p10,linewidth(1)); pair A = intersectionpoint(p1--p2, p5--p6); dot("$A$", A, 2*W); pair B = intersectionpoint(p5--p6, p3--p4); dot("$B$", B, 2*WNW); pair C = intersectionpoint(p7--p8, p5--p6); dot("$C$", C, 1.5*NW); pair D = intersectionpoint(p3--p4, p7--p8); dot("$D$", D, 2*NNE); pair EE = intersectionpoint(p1--p2, p7--p8); dot("$E$", EE, 2*NNE); pair F = intersectionpoint(p1--p2, p9--p10); dot("$F$", F, 2*NNE); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/8/7/d878779f0718f46b33d37199ff7b7df96df2948e.png)
Solution
We can form the following expressions for the sum along each line:
![\[\begin{dcases}A+B+C\\A+E+F\\C+D+E\\B+D\\B+F\end{dcases}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/e/d/ced75e75ee703776845d4ca9666de8729ada010b.png)
Adding these together, we must have 
, i.e. 
. Since 
are unique integers between and 
, we obtain 
(where the order doesn't matter as addition is commutative), so our equation simplifies to 
. This means 
.
