If we assume that 11 meters = 12 yards, what is the smallest integral number of meters that can be converted to its equivalent integral number of yards simply by rearranging the order of the digits of the number?

What if we do the same with the actual exact equivalents?: 1143 meters = 1250 yards.

Then try your hand at 228 solar months = 235 lunar months (the 19-year Metonic cycle).

Badger, you are actually able to edit comments which you post at any time should you find anything in error.  This means that you needn't open a new post cuasing the reader to 'backtrack'.

Of course sometimes situations occur where an intervening comment may make that option somewhat untenable in terms of the flow of the thread.
