Answer / guest

The correct answer is 60858.

If you divide 69958 by 414, you will get 168.98. Hence,
assume some three digit number and multiply it by 414 and
use 6**58 as the answer.

Assume three digit number such that

* * *

4 1 4

-------------

* * *

* * * 0

* * * 0 0

-------------

6 * * 5 8

It is obvious that the last digit of the assumed number must
be 7.

* * 7

4 1 4

-------------

* * 8

* * 7 0

* * 8 0 0

-------------

6 * * 5 8

Now, the second last digit of the assumed number must be 4
or 9. Also, the first digit of the assumed number must be 1
as the first digit of the answer is 6. Using trial and error
for above two conditions, the answer is

1 4 7

4 1 4

-------------

5 8 8

1 4 7 0

5 8 8 0 0

-------------

6 0 8 5 8

Answer / cami

Or, you can notice that 414 is divisible by 9 (because its
digits add to a multiple of 9). Therefore, 6xx58 must also
be a multiple of 9. 6+5+8 is 19, so the remaining digits
must either add to 8 or 17. So there are 11 possibilities
to try: 60858, 61758, 62658, 63558, 64458, 65358, 66258,
67158, 68058, 68958, and 69858. The only one that comes
out even when divided by 414 is 60858, which was luckily
the first one I tried!

Answer / kushwah.india@gmail.com

414 is divisible by
So 6xy58 be divisible by 9
so 6+x+y+5+8=19+x+y is divisible by 9
so x+y =8 or x+y=17$
Taking x=0 ,y=8
Then No= 60858
and 60858/414=147
So 60858 is correct answer

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.
