Ternary train (Posted on 2014-03-28) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Please restore the 5 by 5 grid containing 10 ternary numbers with no leading zeroes.
The crossword-like definitions follow:


Across:
I. a cube
II. twice a permutable (in base 10) prime
III. divisible by eleven
IV. the number of trees with 10 vertices
V. a square

Down:
1. repdigit in base 12
2. a factorion in base 10
3. a semiprime
4. a square of a prime
5. its cube in base 10 uses only 3 distinct digits

Rem: I have built it bottoms-up. Hope there is only one solution...

Obviously the fourth row across is 10221 and then the fourth column down becomes 20021. Similar fittings are made until the square is complete:

1 1 1 2 2  cube = 125 decimal
2 2 1 0 1  twice permutable prime = 226 = 2*113
2 1 2 0 2  div by 11: = 209
1 0 2 2 1  trees w/10 vert. = 106 decimal
1 1 1 1 1  square = 121 decimal

down
12211  repdigit base 12: base-10 157; base-12 111
12101  factorion base 10: 145 = 1! + 4! + 5!
11221  semiprime = 133 decimal = 7*19
20021  square of prime = 169 decimal = 13^2
21211  cube contains only 3 distinct decimal digits: decimal 211^3 = 9393931
