IBM Ponder This #214 · February 2016

This month's challenge is about IBM's InterConnect 2016 conference.

Assign each letter a different digit such that the following mathematical equations would be correct (** denotes exponentiation):

a**connect = c (mod inter)

a**connect = a**toe (mod at)

a**connect = a**toe (mod cm)

n**i = ban

Hint: By guessing a little, this can almost be entirely solved without using a computer.

For a bonus '*', what is the connection of the solution to "XCF MODULE ID FILTER NOT ACCEPTED"?
