Whats the smallest number ("the magic number") that can satisfy these conditions?
- its positive
- it is not divisible by any number below 20 (excluding 1)
- the average of the digits is an even number between 3 and 9
(In reply to
couriosity by Pieater)
37 does not work because the average of 3 and 7 is 5, which is not "an even number between 3 and 9"
as for 17 (which has already been pointed out), it is divisible by 17, a number below 20
a side note: i would replace any instance of the word "number" in the original puzzle with "integer"
