Hi Rarocks. I'm good. How're you?

Edit: Goodnight Eoin.

Good night Eoin.

[rarocks24]

Hi Rarocks. I'm good. How're you?

Edit: Goodnight Eoin.

Just fine.

Did you notice I have a thousand posts. I'm now a Royal Guard, not a Goauld Underling.

[SqueeG-1]

Hey, that's great! It's going to take me 15 billion years to get 1,000 posts. I looooooove Off-Topic.

Edit: I'll be right back.

[rarocks24]

Okay.

I'm telling you, this question is either sadistic, or I am missing a shortcut of some kind.

X is a 10 digit number that has all the digits from 0 to 9 in it. X's leftmost digit is divisible by 1. The number formed by its leftmost 2 digits is divisible by 2, the number formed by its leftmost 3 is divisible by 3, and so on. Finally, the whole ten digit number is divisible by 10. Which of these is X's sixth digit (counting from the left)?

So far I discovered that there are tons of number sequences up to seven or eight digits that are perfectly peachy this way. Past eight digits... ARGH!

*Bangs head on desk*

No, no, don't tell me what it is. It's no good if you tell me...

I'll give ya a hint, it has to be divisible by ten, meaning the last number in X is 0.

[Syera]

I did have that much figured out.

[rarocks24]

Yeah, that question is starting to get on my nerves...The first number can be 1-9, the first two numbers can be 10-98 (all even), the first three digits can be pairs of any number 100-999 (which is divisible by three), the four digits have to be both divisible by two, three and four...

OMG...ROFLMAO!!!! I know what it is.

[Syera]

Lemme guess - it's one of those answers that leaves you wondering how you ever missed it?

[rarocks24]

Yup. I don't know if I can give you a hint though without giving the answer away, and I don't want to put it in a spoiler...I actually second guessed whether it worked or not but I went to my calculator and deduced that 41 was a factor of the first three numbers.

[Syera]

Heeeeeeey, 42 is the answer! Everybody knows that!

So... what lead you up to forty-one?

And, out of further curiosity, what did you answer as a word that contains all the vowels?

[rarocks24]

See, if I told you, I'd be giving you the exact number thereby defeating the purpose of you figuring it out.

[rarocks24]

What exactly is this for anyways?

[Syera]

Oh, I thought you were taking it, too...

Anyway, an online IQ test. I've been at this particular question now for hours.

...Math isn't my strongpoint.
