Okay, so we've got this christmas quiz thing at home. You'll have seen the like before - questions like "12 DOC" to which the answer is "Days of Christmas". Still quite a few left, so here we go... 4 CB 10 GB (HOTW) 2 SDMAS 9 LOAC 36 BKOAP 5 OR 3 MFASBE 18 TITP 30 MSIABUA 12 GMAT 4 PIAPT 2 WDMAR 10 DS 200 PFPG 3 FIOY 3 CIAF 22 TLD 26 LOTA 6 BIAO 7 DS 10 RP Any ideas?

And just to keep you going here are a couple for base 8 (containing all of the numbers 1-7) *2 x --- * x 6 --- ** Both have unique solutions

Richard said: base 5: (unique solution) * x * -- ** Well, it's unique if you don't count swapping the two numbers being multiplied

base 5: (unique solution) * x * -- base 6: (unique solution) x * --- base 7: (2 solutions) x * --- xxx

Dubya said: Are there similar problems in other bases than base 10? OK: in base 4, the following contains all the digits from 1-3. * + 1 -- * Or is that not quite what you had in mind?

jpd said: OK, you asked for it - prove this is the only solution (or otherwise). Are there similar problems in other bases than base 10?
