July 2015 Fiendish Function
The Fiendish Function posed during July 2015 had the following sample guesses and replies:
- 1
- 7
- 2
- 5
- 3
- 1
- 4
- 83
- 5
- 67
- 10
- 8975
The rule was: "Multiply this number of twos together, then convert each digit to 9 minus the digit".
Suppose the guess was 13:
- Raise two to this power, giving 8192.
- Convert each digit to 9 minus the digit, giving 1807.
So the result is 1807.
