:: I've clarified the wording so it now asks for the smallest positive integer. The reference in the Hollingdale and Tootill book only says 'smallest number': but the fact Babbage thought 99736 was the answer makes it clear it was a positive integer he was after. (Hope I'm doing this right—I'm quite new to Rosetta Code.) --[[User:Edmund|Edmund]] ([[User talk:Edmund|talk]]) 05:52, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
