:I have turned the computer on and produced a solution using only the above and nothing from the referenced website which completes in under a minute. The reference is rubbish, consider removing it--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 10:42, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 
:: Rubbish or not, is there anything on the referenced (Gupta's) website that is incorrect? &nbsp; The properties and observations is what the REXX solution used (and others have as well) to calculate &nbsp; ''rare'' &nbsp; numbers, &nbsp; albeit not as fast as your algorithm. &nbsp; I have no idea how long Shyam Sunder Gupta's program(s) executed before it found eight rare numbers &nbsp; (or how much virtual memory it needed). &nbsp; Is the algorithm suitable in finding larger &nbsp; ''rare'' &nbsp; numbers? &nbsp; I suspect (not knowing '''F#''') that virtual memory may become a limitation. &nbsp; Eight down, seventy-six more to go. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:18, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
