I joined the topcoder community tomorrow and tried solving the
PersistentNumber problem:
Given a number x, we can define p(x) as the product of the digits of x. We
can then form a sequence x, p(x), p(p(x))... The persistence of x is then
defined as the index (0-based) of the first single digit

must return its persistence.
