In the task's preamble (in the '''E.G.''' section), the 4<sup>th</sup> multiplication (for a '''B10''' of '''111,111,111'''), the multiplier is incorrect. The multiplier shown would yield a '''B10''' value of '''1,111,111,101''', which isn't the minimum '''B10''' for a '''N''' of '''9'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:57, 29 February 2020 (UTC) |

:Hi Gerard, you multiply 'n' by the multiplier so 9 x 12,345,679 = 111,111,111 --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 19:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC) |

::Ah, it looks like an '8' has crept into the multiplier - I'll remove it. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 19:25, 29 February 2020 (UTC) |
