Hints/Tips re: Direct Basic solution......corrections... | Comment 3 of 6 |
(In reply to Direct Basic solution by Steve Herman)

1.  map the digits 0123456 to 0123689

Should read : map the digits 0123456 to 0125689 (REPLACE 3 BY 5)

The result was not affected

2...."For example, a(x) = 888,888  
This maps to 666666   Should be This maps to 555555 (REPLACE 6 BY 5),..

3. Convert to base 7 giving 16,806 ...  WRONG

YOU should  Convert from base 7 to decimal  getting 14005 etc...

.and get.the answer. x=84035 for a(x)=888,888 (If I  did not err)

Please edit and check your procedures on puzzle's questions (100,1000,888)  to compare with Charlie's results.
