The Nine Digits Page 9with some Ten Digits (pandigital) exceptions | |||
When I use the term ninedigital in these articles I always refer to a strictly zeroless pandigital (digits from 1 to 9 each appearing just once).
Topic 9.1 [ December 22, 2025 ]
From Henry E. Dudeney's book “Amusements In Mathematics” (puzzle 92)
Arranging the \(9\) and \(10\) digits of the nine- and pandigital numbers resulting in concatenations of 1, 2, 3, 4, ... squares.
|
Dudeney just gave one example namely \(981324576\) where the nine digits are so arranged that they form "four" What about other than four squares? How many arrangements can you find that gives "five', "three" and "two" squares? "Now, can you put the nine digits all together so they form a "single" square number?" Dudeney asked. And now it is time to delve into the many possible variations. |
The analogue challenge now with pandigitals. Provide the full listings. Four squares→ \((4)(25)(81)(30976)\) is \((2^2)(5^2)(9^2)(176^2)\) Three squares→ \((9)(81)(4730625)\) is \((3^2)(9^2)(2175^2)\) Two squares→ \((7056)(321489)\) is \((84^2)(567^2)\) One square → \((1026753849)\) is \((32043^2)~~\) and \(~~(9814072356)\) is \((99066^2)\) |
