Hints: you can test any candidate in the number decoder — it lists divisors and digit sums. Show your working for a chance at a bonus prize for the clearest explanation.
How it works
- Solve the puzzle (tools allowed — it's about curiosity).
- Enter once per person before the countdown ends.
- After closing, we draw winners at random from correct entries and email them within 7 days.
- Answers and winners' first names are posted here the following month.
The Number Story contest
Write up to 500 words (or record a 2-minute video) about a number that changed something for you — a lucky plate, a phone number, a date. The best stories are published with credit, and the winner receives a prize from the season's pool.
