The NPL puzzle for 6 oct was an interesting little Perl exercise [I'm not

to be a cute little thing.
Write out the digits from 1-9 in order. Then

What's odd is that my little Perl program found *TWO* solutions, but one
is potentially ambiguous [in particular, given those rules, what should
the value of a*b*c be?-- it doesn't say whether things should be done
left-to-right or right-to-left, so perhaps that could be used to
Hello,
I have integer numbers represented in base 36 (each digit may have one of 36
values: ('0'..'9','A'..'Z')).
For example: '5BFHK'.
I need to increment the number by 1 or by some step (for example, by 25).
Here is my first take on incrementing by 1:
