It is not expected as answer and I don't see anything interesting when interpreting the number in other ways. Am I missing the punchline?

I've have send Adum an update right now (I also altered the cleartext). Maybe the 6 solvers should try again after fix has been applied. Sorry for the inconvinience guys!

Thu Sep 08, 2011 6:03 am satfreak666 Joined: 16 May 2011 Posts: 11 Hi Tron, ok, the modulus is 18177463113985279014593768153541854004936176165294524057336890660730144311208729 Begginers fault again: I haven't completely updated the challange text, only the source code printing out the numbers. But you seem to be on the right track Tron ,) SF Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:12 am AMindForeverVoyaging Forum Admin Joined: 28 May 2011 Posts: 473 Location: Germany I recommend to let one's challenge be beta-tested by (an)other person(s) before submitting it.

The number must be smaller than the modulus as Tron said!

Please use the modulus i have posted here.

Probably this will soon be corrected. Thu Sep 08, 2011 11:21 am adum Joined: 19 Apr 2007 Posts: 390 beta testing challenges is not a bad idea, for some that might be malformed...
