Did you solve it? Do you have a snout for numbers?
Earlier today I set this elegant number puzzle. Here it is again with a solution.
TL;DR
- The puzzle asks to find a number N starting with 4.
- Moving the 4 to the end of N creates a new number that is N divided by 4.
- The solution is found by testing numbers with increasing digits.
- Two-digit, three-digit, four-digit, and five-digit attempts are shown to be incorrect.
- The six-digit number 410256 satisfies the condition: 410256 / 4 = 102564.
