There is only one 6-digit number enabling this beautiful shifting of the partial products:


mmmmmWINTER 
       *ICY
mmmmmWINTER
mmmmRWINTE
mmmERWINT  
mmmTHERWWWR

What digit is not used in the multiplication above?

Hint : The road being slippery, don't use your own vehicle in the competition:

Thus the digit not used is 5.

Rent a car, try to win the race.
