(This is in fact what the instructions required.) But, my question is: Are the answers unique? Extend that question a little bit ... for an integer, i, from 1 to 9 (note that I started at 1), how many six digit numbers have the property that they are equal to their digit reversal when multiplied by i? PERHAPS the answer is that there is only one such six digit number for each of the numbers from 2 to 9, but there are certainly MANY when i=1. How many?</p> If I am reading your code correctly, it finds ONE magic number for each of the numbers from 2 to 9. (This is in fact what the instructions required.)
