Ken's POTW
Productive Numbers, and a Series
Some smaller puzzles this time:
- Find all numbers i, such that i is
equal to the sum of the squares of its digits.
- Find all numbers n, such that n is
equal to the product of its
first three and last three digits (taken as 3-digit numbers).
Assume the first digit of n is not zero.
Ignore leading zeros in the second 3-digit number if necessary.
- The following series eventually repeats. Where?
1, 11, 21, 1112, 3112, ...
