Yes a shoe.

5239

FIVE - TWO + THREE - NINE = 5239

Each letter in the puzzle stands for a different digit from 0 to 9. Find the letter values.

Now for the next number, a small 4 x 4 magic square that totals to 5252:

No probs...it is good for my mind to be broadened. smile

But you didn't post a new number! shame

Some more primes with that number 5239: 2, 3, 5, 23, 29, 53, 523.

Also,
52 = 4 x 13
52 - 39 = 13
52 + 39 = 7 x 13
5 + 2 - 3 + 9 = 13
5 + 2 + 3 + √9 = 13

Hi Bobby,

Correct! The solution is unique.

5265 (catchup):

-52 + 65 = 13
5 + INV2 * 6 + 5 = 13

5278

-52 + 78 = 26 = 13 + 13
52 + 78 = 130
The product of the outer two digits - the inner two digits (27) = 13

5356 = (1 + 3) × (10 + 3) × (100 + 3)


5356 is the 103[sup]rd[/sup] Triangular number!


535 + 6 is a Prime number.

53 + 56 is a Prime number.

5 + 3 × 56 is a Prime number.

53 + 5 × 6 is a Prime number.

5 × 35 + 6 is a Prime number.

53 × 5 + 6 is a Prime number.

5 + 3 + 5 + 6 is a Prime number.


5 × 3 × 5 - 6 = 69  tongue

5408.

A 6 X 6 magic square with some negative numbers thrown in for good luck. Completely done by hand. Everything sums to 5408.

Hi phrontister;

I will show you what I have discovered but may I ask that it isn't done right now. I would like to enjoy being the only only one who can do it for a little while. Is that OK with you?

The real reason:

Oh, and I forgot. The method is not really ready for public use. It is ugly, long and mathematica intensive. It is in pieces and not even fully automated. Even the original math is ugly and not terribly imaginative. Actually I am kind ashamed of it.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

If it's mathematica-intensive, it's goodnight me. If it's ugly and something to be ashamed of, then it's goodnight it.

I suspected Mathematica was at the bottom of this...you must have had a bit of fun setting it up to the stage it's at!

(5!/4)/√9+√9 = 13

Hi phrontister;

Don't get me wrong it was not a built in function. I had to figure it all out and then program it. It took an entire week. It still requires a lot of work out of me. I hope to be able to automate the process soon.

No...I didn't think it was a built-in function you were using. That is why I thought you'd been having fun trying to get the thing to work. smile
