I was taught that they were used on boats so they put 045 to show that 45 degrees was the way, and a 0 so that a digit was not missed out. if they put 45 it couldve been 145 but they missed the 1.

What is 3 digits plus 3 digits and equals 3 digits only using numbers 1 through 9 without carrying a number?

There is no solution to this problem. If each digit can be used once only then we have 5 odd numbered digits (1,3,5,7,9) and 4 even numbered digits (2,4,6,8). To create the two numbers that are added together requires the following combinations of digits. 5 Odd & 1 Even ....when added these will generate 2 Even digits & 1 Odd digit but the remaining digits are 3 Even. 4 Odd & 2 Even. These will generate 3 Even digits OR 1 Even digit & 2 Odd digits but the remaining digits are 1 Odd & 2 Even. 3 Odd & 3 Even. These generate 3 Odd digits OR 2 Even & 1 Odd digits but the remaining digits are 2 Odd & 1 Even. 2 Odd & 4 Even. These generate 3 Even digits OR 2 Odd & 1 Even digits but the remaining digits are 3 Odd & no Even.
