Units Digit Determination (Posted on 2015-01-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
N is a 9-digit duodecimal (base 12) palindrome such that:

The first two digits of N are not consecutive, and:
The sixth and seventh digits of N are not consecutive

What is the units digit of the sum of all possible values of N?

How about N being a 9-digit hexadecimal (base 16) palindrome instead?

*** N is of course positive and does not contain any leading zero.

(In reply to Adding up those 9-digit numbers by Charlie)

The program previously shown ensured that not only did the first two digits, as well as digits 6 and 7 (by checking digits 3 and 4 in the palindrome), need to be non-consecutive, it also made sure the members of each pair were not equal to each other.  This has been corrected in lines 30 and 60 of the below programs.  The new totals, in decimal and then in the digits of the respective bases, follow the run command in each.

The units digit in the respective bases remains 0, but the coincidental unit-digit zero in the decimal representation no longer takes place.

   10   for A=1 to 11
   20   for B=0 to 11
   30    if abs(A-B)<>1 then
   40      :for C=0 to 11
   50      :for D=0 to 11
   60      :if abs(C-D)<>1 then
   70        :for E=0 to 11
   80          :N=A*(12^8+1)
   90          :N=N+B*(12^7+12)
  100          :N=N+C*(12^6+12^2)
  110          :N=N+D*(12^5+12^3)
  120          :N=N+E*12^4
