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) |

something's wrong
In the task's preamble (in the E.G. section), the 4th 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. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 18:57, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
