Etched on a safe: 'My three digits multiply to 36. Even if I told you what they add up to, you still couldn't be sure what I am. My digits go from smallest to largest, and my largest digit appears only once.' What's the code?
Hint: List every set of three digits that multiplies to 36, then add each set up.
Answer
229
Digit sets with product 36: 1-4-9 (sum 14), 1-6-6 (13), 2-2-9 (13), 2-3-6 (11), 3-3-4 (10). Only a sum of 13 leaves you unsure, so it's 1-6-6 or 2-2-9. The largest digit appears once only in 2-2-9.
