Got it. Not too difficult a puzzle - start with the fact that the sum of all six digits = 21 with no 0's, and that tells you what the 6 digits are. The fact that the last digit = the 2nd digit times the 5th digit nails down what that last digit must be, and leaves two choices for the 2nd and 5th. From there it's up to you. Post back with your attempt at continuing the solution.
