Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $111$

Odds and Evens
Every asterisk and letter represents a figure,
and "$\mathtt O$" stands for an odd figure ($1$, $3$, $5$, $7$, or $9$)
while "$\mathtt E$" represents an even figure ($2$, $4$, $6$, $8$, or $0$).
Can you construct an arrangement complying with these conditions?
There are $6$ solutions.
Can you find one, or all of them?
