@madness you are right – I have just wrote code to solve them
(I wrote code only to make them and somehow things got muddy.)

With #10 There are:
34 answers with bottom row restricted to 20 as a highest number
48 answers with bottom row restricted to 30 as a highest number
60 answers with bottom row restricted to 40 as a highest number

Here is the correct #10 puzzle (again sorry)
(easy by code but we are meant to fill in the blanks unaided manually by pencil (and eraser!)

PUZZLE #10 HARD

_________xxx 228

______xxx xxx 054 xxx
____029 xxx xxx 026 036
