I was looking back at her puzzels. I was able to solve the 381654729 but I cheated. I see the odd even odd. I see 5. But past that I was lost. I counted by 3 to 987 and filtered by odd even odd. Checked on a list counting by 4 filtering again. and then started by hand adding the 5 and checking the 6's with a calculator. Yes I'm bored. Yes it's driving me insane. I know four people got it. I talked to one and he also did the brute force thing which I reject. Did any one come up with a more elegant solution? Come on any whiz kids out there in algibra/descreat?

for you Lee, see attached.

I won't claim it is elegant, but manageable.
