==================
Hello Miles.

10 Sep 04 05:14, you wrote to me:

no spreadsheet, most of the arithmetic was done in bash (the linux
command-line)

eg: the the list of squares divisible by nine was done like this

I started with squares divisible by 9 as they were easy to predict.

initially I calculated them by hand, but then gave up and used the computer (as
it was before breakfast and my brain was underperfrming.

n=12: while [ x lt 32 ] do echo $x  $((x*x))  $((x*x+1)) ; x=$((x+3));

which after berakfast it shouldn't have been difficult to do on paper.

I didn't, first I rejected 730  (because N=0) and that's no good for NINETY

 MM> Using qb this way is a far cry from the mind-stretching logic that

yeah, I think my approach of determineing possible NINETYs (given divisibility
by 9. there were about 20 I think) and then doing some suqare roots to kick out
value s of SIX i probably closer to the preferred method.


 MM> EVE/DID = .TALKTALKTALK....

in other words

 EVE/DID = TALK/9999

on my handy command line the using the tool "factor" on 9999
gives me 3 3 11 101

so  I= 0
    D is 1,3,or 9

D cant be 1 as EVE < DID

hmm, what should I do next, there's still over 180 possible combinations for
E,V and D

depending on the value for DID

EVE*11 = TALK  or EVE*33 =TALK
DID*11 = 9999     DID*33 =9999

clearly EVE*11 results in E=K which is not allowed so it must be EVE*33
which means DID=9999/33=303

 so given EVE<DID  E is  either 1 or 2  and it can't be 1 as that'd make K=3
 E=2 , k=6

  2V2 * 33 = TAL6
( 303 * 33 = 9999 )

let's see 212 x 33 = 6996 no
          242 x 33 = 7986 yes.

looks good to me

     242/303 = .798679867986....
     EVE/DID = .TALKTALKTALK....
