re: solution (afterward, including Inca bugs) - response by Ady TZIDON)
creating was about 2.5 hours, solving was longer (please advise)
Yes, solving this one took a while, especially considering my wrong turn. But I do not tire of such problems: ones that are easy to state yet hard to solve. E.g. 11394 (unsolved by others), 11856, 11538 (both unsolved). I do prefer problems that challenge us to use the sort of elegant math several contributors demonstrate, but recreational number play like your own or simulations like this one 11681 (unsolved) require an easier, more mechanical fun. Here again I always learn from the advanced programming demonstrations of other contributors.
