IL DOLCE ?AR NIENTE
I don't know any Italian, but Google says "dolce" is "sweet" and "niente" is "nothing".
s$ = "0123456789": h$ = s
Do
certain = Val(Left(s, 7))
old = Val(Right(s, 3))
trade = Val(Mid(s, 4, 1) + Mid(s, 3, 1) + Mid(s, 5, 1) + Mid(s, 10, 1) + Mid(s, 2, 1))
If certain = old * trade Then
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & certain & Str(old) & Str(trade) & crlf
End If
permute s
DoEvents
Loop Until s = h
