 So, if we know that Z << X, we can ALSO infer that Y << X (we just don't know how Y relates to Z). So, if we know that Z << X, we can ALSO infer that Y << X (we just don't know how Y relates to Z).
  
 +So unless we can find an example that violates this case, we can run with it as a viable approach to take in the letter division puzzles. Tell me: is there a valid combination that violates this?

 Like the above, but inverted: what if we KNOW that the top number is less than one of the two numbers beneath it? Can we also infer some pattern?

 As we can see in the examples above, if X is less than Y, X ends up ALSO being less than Z. As we can see in the examples above, if X is less than Y, X ends up ALSO being less than Z.

 +Remember: we are dealing with single digit values (with the exception of the top number needing to borrow), so the viable possibilities are limited.
