Enigma 1564 - My favourite number
New Scientist magazine, 23 September 2009.
By Albert Haddad.
My favourite number consists of several
digits and is not included on my list of
five whole numbers (comprising non-zero
digits) written below in capital letters,
where different letters stand for different
digits and the same letter stands for the
same digit.
I can tell you that although my favourite
number is smaller than the BEST number,
which is twice as GOOD, and larger than the
ODD prime number, there is a BETTER number
that is bigger than the OTHER number, which
is exactly 25 times my favourite number.
What is my favourite number?
Ciao,
Chappy.
