You say its 99638, but 9*9*9*9=6,561. So either the task description is crap or your ring implementation is.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 15:08, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
: Withholding judgement on whether (or what) is crap. It's random; if it didn't generate five 9s in a row then you won't get 99999. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 16:20, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
:: It started off as 'Find the four adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have the greatest product' even though the Ring answer was 99638 - hence Nigel's comment. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 16:36, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
I would make it the first thousand digits of pi so all solutions have the same answer. As it is who can argue with any 5 digit number?--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 17:40, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
