25 days agodsilverz: Errata: "... current max value (7 × 5 × 3 × 2) ..." (my previous comment uses asterisk which was parsed as markdown)
25 days agodsilverz: Nice. Just a tip: the current max value (7*5*3*2) is okay considering the current set of numbers (7, 5, 3 and 2), but other sets (e.g., 8,9,3,4) would require calculating the Least Common Multiplier (LCM) for max.
