Hi Skip,
I came up with this using while. and putting the test for summation inside the
loop.
Cheers, bob
ts =: 3 : 0
b=: 0 6$0
while. 6>#b do. a=:1+6?70
if. 172=+/"1 a do. b=:a,b end.
end.
b
)
ts ''
10 60 13 26 14 49
6 37 65 5 43 16
23 26 11 56 51 5
59 19 22 62 9 1
26 69 30 24 21 2
12 36 16 17 63 28
ts ''
48 5 43 35 19 22
35 32 53 43 3 6
2 32 6 62 36 34
33 37 36 10 17 39
1 22 53 3 32 61
19 15 66 42 21 9
