Find the smallest positive integer n such that, when expressed in decimal, 2*n, 3*n, 4*n, 5*n, and 6*n contain exactly the same digits but in a different order.
AppleScript
— except that the 'steps' figure here is cumulative. Also, for six different numbers to have the same digits, each must have at least three digits, none of which can be 0. So the lowest possible value of n in this respect is 123. But for a number beginning with 1 to stand any chance of containing the same digits as both a number that's 2 times it and another that's 6 times it, it must also contain at least one digit that's no less than 2 and another that's no less than 6. The lowest combination of these is 26, which also produces a multiple of 3 when added to a power of 10. So this makes a slightly better post-power start point than 2, saving eight steps per power. ;)
Shifting the 26 up against the 1 obviously keeps the "at least" condition satisfied for longer during the subsequent additions of 3 at the low end and gives a start point much closer to the next power. This more than halves the number of steps performed and thus the time taken. It also produces the correct result(s), but I can't see that it's logically bound to do so. :\

Pascal
Create an array of the digits fixed 1 as first digit and 0 "1023456789"
Adding done digit by digit, so no conversion needed.
Using set of tdigit ,so no sort of digits is required.
Don't use the fact, that second digit must be < 6.Runtime negligible.

Phix
Maintain a limit (n10) and bump the iteration whenever *6 increases the number of digits, which (as [was] shown) cuts the number of iterations by a factor of nearly thirteen and a half times (as in eg [as was] 67 iterations instead of 900 to find nothing in 100..1,000). Also as noted on the talk page, since sum(digits(3n)) is a multiple of 3 and it uses the same digits as n, then sum(digits(n)) will also be the very same multiple of 3 and hence n must (also) be divisible by 3, so we can start each longer-digits iteration on 10^k+2 (since remainder(10^k,3) is always 1) and employ a step of 3, and enjoy a better than 40-fold overall reduction in iterations.

extended output
If we comment out that "exit -- (see below)", as per the AppleScript comments and the Pascal output, some patterns start to emerge in the values and number of steps: *10 is a bit of a given, whereas "insert 9s before the 8" is (for me) a bit more unexpected. Be warned: on the desktop, 1e8 takes about 9s, 1e9 about 90s, so I'll predict 1e10 would take 15mins (and need 64bit) and I'll not try to compete with Pascal in terms of performance, though I am getting very different results above 1e7. Under pwa/p2js 1e8 takes about 30s (meh) so I've limited it to 1e7 (2.3s).

I believe that last pattern will be continue to be valid no matter how many 9s are inserted in the middle, and I doubt that any further patterns would emerge.
