Best of luck
created a vb program but the problem is it is checking 10,000 possibilites in one sec.the 9th digit number is ending with 99999999.so it will take 99999 sec's 
no one has yet solved my puzzles. The solutions will be given tommorow.This is the last day to solve it.

I know that it is the right answer 'cause I checked the condition u gave.
Process: I first eliminated the digits for each place value. then, according to the divisibility rules, I eliminated to some more extent. then, I got combinations like this:
divisible by 3
147xxxxxx
381xxxxxx
387xxxxxx
789xxxxxx
783xxxxxx
741xxxxxx
981xxxxxx
987xxxxxx
divisible by 4
xx16xxxxx
xx12xxxxx
xx36xxxxx
xx32xxxxx
xx76xxxxx
xx72xxxxx
xx96xxxxx
xx92xxxxx
divisible by 6
xxx654xxx
xxx258xxx
divisible by 8
xxxxx816x
xxxxx832x
xxxxx872x
xxxxx896x
xxxxx416x
xxxxx432x
xxxxx472x
xxxxx496x
Now, using the most appropriate combinations(eliminating the repeating digits) and using some functions in excel, I sorted out to these values.
1472583xx
3816547xx
7836549xx
using the divisibility by 8 combinations,
38165472x is the only appropriate combination. so, it gives me:381654729
381654729 / 9 = 42406081
38165472 / 8 = 4770684
3816547 / 7 = 545221
381654 / 6 = 63609
38165 / 5 = 7633
3816 / 4 = 954
381 / 3 = 127
38 / 2 = 19
3 / 1 = 3
ok???

write the digits which are repeated more than once
2 repeated 4 times
6 --2 times
multiply the digit with it's number of occurence
thus 2*4=8
6*2=12
add this
8+12-->20
divide it by the maximum occurence of a number
thus in this number the maximum occurence is 4
20/4-->5
multiply it by the number which has occured most times
thus in this case it is 2
5*2-->10
similarly,

I assume no two characters are equal in any way.
If we use numbers, R must be even cause at the end S + S = R ( Odd + Odd and Even + Even both equal Even, so R's got to be Even )
First conclusion: R is even ( Say, 2, 4, 6, 8, since solution set doesn't consist of any 0 ( i.e. 1-9 only, possibly ) )
Now CROSS
+ROADS
------
DANGER
As you'd notice, D is extra, like something carried over in addition. So D's got to be 1 since any sum of 1-9 will can can give a carry of 1 alone.
So, A will have a value of [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] cause D's already taken 1.
First value found, D = 1
C+R = Set of numbers ( 12,13,14,15,16,17,18 ( 19 not possible as 10 is not allowed ) )
Which equal only to sums of:
If A: C+R C+R
Case 2:
3+9 || 9+3
4+8 || 8+4
5+7 || 7+5
( Other combo's not possible cause C!=R )
Case 3:
4+9 || 9+4
5+8 || 8+5
6+7 || 7+6
Case 4:
5+9 || 9+5
6+8 || 8+6
Case 5:
6+9 || 9+6
7+8 || 8+7
Case 6:
7+9 || 9+7
Case 7:
8+9 || 9+8
Case 8:
Not Possible as ( 9,9 ) is the only case and C!=R ( Assumed at the beginning of this puzzle solving )
Thus from the above equation, as R is even, we have R = Possiblity( 4, 6, 8 ) and C = Possiblity( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 )
So far,
A = ( 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 ) [6's totally Odd for values of R]
D = 1
C = ( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 )
R = ( 4, 6, 8 )
Now since R is Even and definitely in [4, 6, 8]
From R + O = N, we get R = N - O
Thus,
If R: N-O
Case 4:
9-5
7-3
6-2
( Other combo's not possible as in our assumption, we use R = 4 )
Case 6:
9-3
8-2
Case 8:
Not possible as 1's already taken by D ( 9-1 being the only possible way )
Thus from the above,
N = ( 6, 7, 8, 9 )
O = ( 2, 3, 5 )
A = ( 2, 3, 4, 5 )
D = ( 1 )
C = ( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 )
R = ( 4, 6 )
Also, A doesn't have 7 since C + R = A but R has only ( 4, 6 ) while C is ( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ) ( Adding C+R will never yeild 17 )
Now similarly, G = O + A
Thus, O = G - A
If O: G-A
Case 2:
7-5
6-4
5-3
Case 3:
8-5
7-4
5-2
( 6-3 not Possible as O!=A, thus I G can't be 6 and A can't be 3 )
Case 5:
9-4
8-3
7-2
This gives us two conclusions,
First, A is now ( 2, 4, 5 )
Second, G is ( 5, 7, 8, 9 )
Phew .. I need a break.
Continuing,
We now have:
A = ( 2, 4, 5 )
D = ( 1 )
C = ( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 )
R = ( 4, 6 )
O = ( 2, 3, 5 )
N = ( 6, 7, 8, 9 )
G = ( 5, 7, 8, 9 )
Good so far? I hope so, else my entire evening is lifeless.
Now since R = S + S and R has ( 4, 6 )
If R: S+S
Case 4:
2+2
Case 6:
3+3
Therefore, S = ( 2,3 )
Applying for E = S + D, we have:
E = 2+1 = 3 or
E = 3+1 = 4
Thus, E = ( 3,4 )
So this far,
D = ( 1 )
A = ( 2, 4, 5 )
C = ( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 )
R = ( 4, 6 )
N = ( 6, 7, 8, 9 )
O = ( 2, 3, 5 )
G = ( 5, 7, 8, 9 )
S = ( 2, 3 )
E = ( 3, 4 )
Not being able to proceed more as I did so long, I try to apply the smallest value sets to the solution of bigger sets.
If S is 2, R will be equal to 4 ( S + S ) and E will equal 3 ( S + D )
Thus, if R = 4 and E = 3 and S = 2 the only possible values of A will be ( 5 ) and O will be ( 5 ) too which makes this impossible since A cant equal O.
Thus S will NOT be 2 and is surely 3 instead.
Now if S is 3, we have:
E = S + D = 4
R = S + S = 6
Thus, we now have possible values as:
D = ( 1 )
A = ( 2, 5 )
C = ( 5, 7, 8, 9 )
R = ( 6 )
N = ( 6, 7, 8, 9 )
O = ( 2, 3, 5 )
G = ( 5, 7, 8, 9 )
S = ( 3 )
E = ( 4 )
Now A = C + R and has got to be either 12 or 15 since it gives D = 1 as carry.
Thus only 9 + 6 satisfies it for A = 5 and 12 isn't possible with the remaining values.
Hence, A = ( 5 ) and C = ( 9 )
[Proof: C = A - R = 15 - 6 = 9 not considering the Carry character. This proof is only additive to the above logical result]
So again, so far, removing duplicates as we've been doing,
D = ( 1 )
A = ( 5 )
C = ( 9 )
R = ( 6 )
S = ( 3 )
E = ( 4 )
N = ( 7, 8 )
O = ( 2 )
G = ( 7, 8 )
( As numbers 3, 5 and 9 are already used up. )
Now N = R + O = 6 + 2 = 8 and hence G = 7 ( Odd one out )
[Proof for G: G = O + A = 2 + 5 = 7, again an additive proof.]
Thus finally the solution is,
D = 1
A = 5
N = 8
G = 7
E = 4
R = 6
C = 9
O = 2
S = 3
Or in numeric order:
D = 1
O = 2
S = 3
E = 4
A = 5
R = 6
G = 7
N = 8
C = 9

Thus S will NOT be 2 and is surely 3 instead.

How many packs are there? Do you mean that one cigar is weighing 9gm or a complete pack with cigars weighing 9gm each? Please be clear in the qn.. I think some detail is missing..
fun2sh
Pawned!... Beyond GODLIKE
i will post the full explained sol to CIGARETTE problem as soon i get to my Lappy(Abhi me in aur using gprs in mobile.)
but here is the simple solution (without explaination)
the problem is actually simple.
the procedure is take 1 Cig from 1st
2 cig from 2nd
3 cig from 3rd
and so on
so 10 cig from 10th box and measure the weight for all these 55cig together.
for boxes without defect the total weigt would had been 55 grams.
but if there's defect then we will get difference in weigt as follows
0.1 difference for 1st
0.2 difffrence for 2nd
and so on
i think i hav explained here only properly. if still any doubt then i will clear it wen i reach my Lappy
one mistake i considered weigt of each CIGAR as 1grams instead of 10grams.
but it doesnt matter and we will get 550grams for total undefected in my procedure
and difference of 1g,2g, and so on
i will explain neatly from my Lappy.
by the way ANY PLZ SORT ALL THE PUZZLES AT ONE PLACE. I SEE SOME OF SOLUTIONS HERE BUT CANT FIND THE QUESTIONS
ok here is the solution in explained way
GIVEN:- 10 BOXES OF CIG
10 CIG IN EACH BOX... SO TOTAL OF 100 CIG
WEIGHT OF EACH CIG = 10 GRAM
WEIGHT OF EACH BOX = 100 GRAM
BUT ONE BOX HAS A DEFECTED CIG IN WHICH EACH CIG WEIGHT 9GRAMS
PROCEDURE :- TAKE OUT 1 CIG FROM 1st BOX
2 CIG FROM 2nd BOX
3 CIG FROM 3RD BOX
.
.
.
.
.
and so on...
10 CIGS FROM 10th BOX
NOW MEASURE THE WEIGHT OF THESE 55 CIGS
IF THERE WAS NO DEFECT THEN WEIGHT WOULD HAD BEEN
1x10 + 2x10 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x10 = 550 grams
BUT DUE TO DEFECT THERE WILL BE AN ERROR
case 1: IF 1st BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x9 + 2x10 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x10 = 549 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-549= 1 GRAM
case 2: IF 2nd BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x10 + 2x9 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x10 = 548 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-548= 2 GRAM
case 3: IF 3rd BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x10 + 2x10 + 3X9 + .......... + 10x10 = 547 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-547= 3 GRAM
.
.
.
.
and so on
case 10: IF 10th BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x10 + 2x10 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x9 = 540 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-540= 10 GRAM
hence IN THE DIFFERENCE IS TELLIN THE NAME OF THE DEFECTED BOX
but here is the simple solution (without explaination)
the problem is actually simple.
the procedure is take 1 Cig from 1st
2 cig from 2nd
3 cig from 3rd
and so on
so 10 cig from 10th box and measure the weight for all these 55cig together.
for boxes without defect the total weigt would had been 55 grams.
but if there's defect then we will get difference in weigt as follows
0.1 difference for 1st
0.2 difffrence for 2nd
and so on
i think i hav explained here only properly. if still any doubt then i will clear it wen i reach my Lappy
one mistake i considered weigt of each CIGAR as 1grams instead of 10grams.
but it doesnt matter and we will get 550grams for total undefected in my procedure
and difference of 1g,2g, and so on
i will explain neatly from my Lappy.
by the way ANY PLZ SORT ALL THE PUZZLES AT ONE PLACE. I SEE SOME OF SOLUTIONS HERE BUT CANT FIND THE QUESTIONS
ok here is the solution in explained way
GIVEN:- 10 BOXES OF CIG
10 CIG IN EACH BOX... SO TOTAL OF 100 CIG
WEIGHT OF EACH CIG = 10 GRAM
WEIGHT OF EACH BOX = 100 GRAM
BUT ONE BOX HAS A DEFECTED CIG IN WHICH EACH CIG WEIGHT 9GRAMS
PROCEDURE :- TAKE OUT 1 CIG FROM 1st BOX
2 CIG FROM 2nd BOX
3 CIG FROM 3RD BOX
.
.
.
.
.
and so on...
10 CIGS FROM 10th BOX
NOW MEASURE THE WEIGHT OF THESE 55 CIGS
IF THERE WAS NO DEFECT THEN WEIGHT WOULD HAD BEEN
1x10 + 2x10 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x10 = 550 grams
BUT DUE TO DEFECT THERE WILL BE AN ERROR
case 1: IF 1st BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x9 + 2x10 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x10 = 549 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-549= 1 GRAM
case 2: IF 2nd BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x10 + 2x9 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x10 = 548 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-548= 2 GRAM
case 3: IF 3rd BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x10 + 2x10 + 3X9 + .......... + 10x10 = 547 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-547= 3 GRAM
.
.
.
.
and so on
case 10: IF 10th BOX HAS DEFECTED CIGS THE WEIGHT IS
1x10 + 2x10 + 3X10 + .......... + 10x9 = 540 grams
DIFFERENCE FROM UNDEFECTED CIG WEIGHT = 550-540= 10 GRAM
hence IN THE DIFFERENCE IS TELLIN THE NAME OF THE DEFECTED BOX

Here is the 8th puzzle
Fill in the blanks to make a meaningful sentense
THE __________________ DOCTOR WAS __________ _____________ TO OPERATE BECAUSE THERE WAS ________________________________ ___________________________.
RULES:
The first blank should be of a single word
You have to fill the remaining blanks such that if you add 2 consecutive blanks you will get the word filled in first blank
Ex:If the first blank is say pathologist
then it could be split as path ologist or patholo gist.Any way you like .these two split words should be filled in 2 blanks.It is not neccesary you have to split the same way for 4th and 5th blank.
EX:The pathologist doctor was path ologist to operate because there was pa thologist.
Of course this doesn't make a sense
Note:state your proof along with the answer.If there are multiple solutions ,then the first 3 unique solutions will be take into regard

Hey this is easy, cause I've done it before somewhere!
My answer's 'Notable'.
I.e.:
The notable doctor was not able to operate because there was no table.
