> Looks like I'll have to find some spare CPU cycles to try the 11-stepper, too.
But you know that'll fail?
- The smallest useful digit is 2
- 2**50 has already more than 15 digits.
- Any of your permutations will have 15 only.
- It was said that there's no solution under 200+ digits
update
Probably I didn't think it thru, the product of more than 50 digits could contain many 1s acting as fillers in between your targeted 15 digits...
in other words 1277777788888899 is am eleven stepper too, just not the smallest.
BTW: For the same reason is 1223466778899 not the smallest 10 stepper.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
