I have been stumped on this puzzle for a while now. I know the answer, but of course this does not satisfy my need to understand why.
Puzzle: Let $ABCDEF$ be a six digit number such that:
All digits are different,
The sum of the first two digits is the same as the sum of the last two digits, ($A+B = E+F$)
The sum of all the digits equals the last two digits of the number, ($A+B+C+D+E+F = 10E+F$)
The pairs $AB,CD$ and $EF$ are all prime, ($10A+B$, $10C+D$ and $10E+F$ all prime)
The sum of the last two digits is less than $10$ ($E+F<10$ and hence $A+B<10$ using $2$)
What is the number?
My attempt:
Since $10A+B$ is prime, we have $B$ cannot be divisible by $2$ or $5$, in other words, $B$ must be $1,3,7$ or $9$. This logic is the same for $D$ and $F$.
Doing $3) - 2)$ yields:
$$C+D+E+F=9E$$ $$C+D+F=8E$$
Therefore $C+D+F$ is divisible be $8$. If that is true then $C+D+F$ is of course even. Since $F$ and $D$ has to be odd $(1,3,7,9)$, $C$ must be even.
That's essentially as far as got. I feel as though I am missing something simple.
Note: (the answer is: $416723$)
