An integer is round if it is greater than $0$ and the sum of its digits in decimal representation is a multiple of $10$.
Find an optimal procedure to compute the $N-th$ smallest round integer.
E.g.
If $N = 2$
then Answer is $28$
As the first round integer is $19 (1+9 = 10)$ and the second roun...
$Given$:
A, B, P are distinct digits
AA, AAA, ABB are concatenated Numbers.
$Relations$:
$P $= $A $+$ A $+ $B$
$(AA + ABB)^P$ - $(ABB)^P$
= $(AAA - A) ^P$ + $(B+B^B*B)$ + $(B^B)^P$
Don’t be afraid to make reasonable assumptions to quickly deduce A and B.
We have $10^K$ road signs (numbered 0 through $10^K−1$).
For each valid $i$, the sign with number $i$ has the integer $i$ written on one side and $10^K−i−1$ written on the other side.
We need to find how many road signs have exactly two distinct decimal digits written on them (on both sides in ...
The date today is 7th June 2019, or 07/06/2019 (using the American MM/DD/YYYY ordering).
When is the next date that when written in this way has all eight digits different?

There are two friends Ram and Shyam who attend a course in college.
In a certain course, there is exactly one lesson per day over the course of $D$ days (numbered $1$ through $D$). We have a string $S$ with length $D$ describing the lessons Ram attended — each character being 'A' if Ram was absen...
Given two natural numbers N and K where N >= 2, you have a list of available numbers as all numbers in inclusive range K to K+N-1. You can sum any two natural numbers in available list to create a new natural number, which is then added to list of available numbers. How many natural number exist ...
@Rubio +8 (+9 now) is pretty high for a not-terribly-active meta, especially given that post is from two years ago. And I don't think it should matter who voted - votes are anonymous unless people out themselves like you just did, and you're part of the community too.
(sorry, I didn't see your reply for a long time because it wasn't a ping)
@GentlePurpleRain (Dubious) the woman’s name is Jan. JAN + I + s(To)p + embrOiled + RING = janitoring ... i’m not sure if it’ll be more amusing if that’s the intended answer, or if it isn’t. :)
N is not a square number and consists of 2019 factorial multiplication as shown below:
$N=1!\times 2!\times 3!\cdots 2018!\times2019!$
At least how many factorial needed to be removed from the multiplication to make N a square number?
I often struggle to find what indicators should only operate on literal parts of the wordplay. Anagrams, odds/evens/“regularly”, and the like seem to be such. We see plenty of indirect “heart”/“wings”/“endless” and those seem ok.
It would be nice to add something to the Guide that notes where indirection isn’t kosher.
I generally err on the side of operating directly whenever it feels like indirection would provide too many options. Letter selection indicators, for example, are almost always direct, because indirection there would open you up to basically any option if the word was highly synonymizable. "Could someone feasibly come up with this part in isolation" is the guideline I generally use (but that's a personal thing rather than something I feel comfortable enough calling a general rule).
Makes sense. I think in a situation like this, and jafe's previous one, it clues a small-enough portion of the solution that it seems like it can be reasonably guessed by solving the rest.
I'm going to make one more edit. It's not strictly necessary, but I think it improves the surface and the definition somewhat (big hint there!)
Edited.
Okay, this is getting farcical. I should never try to create a CCCC on the fly. I didn't realize that "female" was valid for F, but "woman" was not. (In retrospect, it seems obvious.) So editing once more, to replace "woman" with "female". Sorry. :(
@hexomino @Randal'Thor and basically everyone: do be mindful that there's a CodeChef coding contest going on whose current round started today and goes through june 17. We generally get brand new members posting questions here from such contests when they happen, so if you see a complete newcomer show up with an algorithmic sounding puzzle that's either a little too polished for a first-timer, or looks like it went through the Google Translate blender, or both, check around before you answer.

Current contest questions are here - codechef.com/JUNE19B ... we've already had 3 of those posted. If you answered one, your answer is deleted until the contest ends and the questions are unlocked, so ... sorry about that.
