    This one is really bad Brady, if I have a time I’ll post it on the SoapBox later today, or Gonzoox could be so kind and do it himself.

      If it’s the one I’m thinking about I’m already laughing! Is it starting with a father and son siting on the table? :-D

        In my language, nothing.

              You must have seen that it has all the numbers from 0-9 once and thus the sum would be 45, which is divisible by 3... not a prime!

              Yes I remember this one; if the sum of the digits in a number is divisible by 3 this means that the number is also divisible by 3.

                    Is it prime? That would be a clue, but I have no hope of even guessing. :-O

                      Except that 0 (nought) is in the wrong place. ;)

                        Only works if you say zero as opposed to nought or nothing.

                          or if the sum is divisible by 9, so is the original. If the last 2 digits of a number are divisible by 4, so is the whole number, for 8 it's the last 3 digits. I hope no one here needs to be told the tricks for 1, 2, and 5. There is no shortcut for checking if a number is divisible by 7. :doh:

                            The following number is the only one of its kind: 8,549,176,320 Can you figure out what is so special about it? P.S.: Give a try, before doing a Google please! :)

                            If I remember correctly it's the only number divisible by 1-10 with all ten digits. [now I'll read what else has been said]

                              Yeah, got it second time, thanks. Stupid assumption that 'alphabetic' is ascending from 'a' being 1.

                                    Geez, that's complicated. It ends with a zero. It's divisible (at minimum) by 2, 5 and 10. No need to reach for further complexity to determine that it's not a prime! Marc
