I heard from some that it was impossible, so I added the hint to work it like a detective. It's kind of like a cross word puzzle in that you get pieces that fit the clues.

For the people who still didnt get it,try finding the quotient first(since its the only partial info we have)

The problem is in a "Fortran -Self Taught" Published in 1966 by Prentice-Hall, Page 311.

Next question should be "What is Fortran?"
