Evil powers (Posted on 2006-08-31) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Is there a power of 666 such that its decimal notation starts with the digits 123456789?

One may replace "starts" by "ends" for a much easier challenge ;-)

That's some very impressive analysis and computing, Charlie!

 I tried doing it straight in arbitrary-length integers, and somewhere between 1000 and 10000 for the exponent, the program ran out of memory (and this was many minutes after it was invoked).
