A six-digit answer (Posted on 2020-05-20) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Anna: I like your PYHIYP puzzles, and usually solve them correctly.
Could you create one for me now?
I: Give me 5 minutes...
....
25 minutes later I showed her the following:


What is the maximal value of P
P=ME*WE*ANNA
,
provided:
(i) it is under 1,000,000.
(ii) the RHS of the bolded equation contains none of P‘s digits.


She solved it, p&p , not PYHIYP.

Your turn.

ANNA suggests 1001, 999×1001 is 999999, so look at 999.
Factoring 999 3-> 333, 3>111, 3>>37
Above done in with HIP.

Aha!
ME:  27
WE:  37
ANNA:  1001
P=999999
