4.8 0 0.9 4.1 2.5
10.3 0 9.1 1.6 8.7
4.8 0 10.4 1.9 5.1
2.8 0 3.2 2.1 4.7
0 0 0 0 0
Deduct the smallest element in each column from the other elements of the column.
2 0 0 2.5 0
7.5 0 8.2 0 6.2
2 0 9.5 0.3 2.6
0 0 2.3 0.5 2.2
0 0 0 0 0
Which implies:
2 8.2 2.5 6.2
7.5 9.5 0.3 2.6
2 2.3 0.5 2.2
33.8 + 34.7 + 28.5 + 29.2 = 126.2
