two teasers about ten-digit numbers

[radosr]

A 10-digit number A will be written as a_1a_2a_3...a_10. Two separate questions:

1. Suppose a_1 is the number of times the digit '0' appears in A; a_2 is the number of times '1' appears in A, and so on... a_10 is the number of times '9' appears. What is A?

2. (more difficult) A contains each of the digits from 0 to 9 exactly once. The number a_1 is divisible by one. The number a_1a_2 is divisible by two. The number a_1a_2a_3 is divisible by three, and so on...What is A?

1. 521010000 ?

 

[Tsotne]

1. 521010000 ?

Wrong. you have one 5 digit which hasn't been accounted for.

 

[Fabrice]

Yes, it has since a_6 = 1

 

[Sherlock]

Wrong. you have one 5 digit which hasn't been accounted for.

I think he meant 5210010000 and he just did a mistake

 

[Fabrice]

Yes, sorry, forgot an 0

 

[Tsotne]

Here is the correct answer: 7100000100

 

[Fabrice]

2 times a 1

 

[Tsotne]

2 times a 1

Look at the index view:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
7 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

 

[Fabrice]

yes, but there are two 1 , so a_2 can't be 1

 

[Tsotne]

This one: 6210001000

 

[Fabrice]

It's the one I proposed, but I misread and thought there were 9 digits

 

[Tsotne]

I see, yeah now moving to the second problem

 

[Tsotne]

A 10-digit number A will be written as a_1a_2a_3...a_10. Two separate questions:

2. (more difficult) lol A contains each of the digits from 0 to 9 exactly once. The number a_1 is divisible by one. The number a_1a_2 is divisible by two. The number a_1a_2a_3 is divisible by three, and so on...What is A?

1234567890. Why scratch a head (if I got the problem correctly) or you should have baned this response.

 

[Fabrice]

is 1234 divisible by 4?

 

[Tsotne]

is 1234 divisible by 4?

Now I got the problem, I thought about multiplication... 1*2*3*4...

firs you figure 0, then 5. then 6-4 combo, then 2, then 8. these are forced. two possibilities for a7: 3 or 7, each of which gives 4 or 6 numbers to check.
