Right-Shift Solution: \(102564 \times 4 = 410256\) (The 4 moves from the
back to the front).

Left-Shift Solution: \(142857 \times 3 = 428571\) (The 1 moves from the
front to the back).



Theres no example of Left-shift and x4 ?

No, it is mathematically impossible to have a left-shift parasitic
number with a multiplier of 4 in the base-10 number system.



Why is it called parasitic?


The name "parasitic number" is a piece of colorful recreational
mathematics jargon coined by the popular science and math author
Clifford A. Pickover in his 2000 book, Wonders of Numbers.


Other names:

Dyson Numbers: Named after physicist Freeman Dyson, who famously
posed finding these numbers as a challenge puzzle to the public.


Cyclic Shift Invariants: The formal algebraic term used by mathematicians, as the number undergoes a strict "right circular shift"
during multiplication.

https://rec.puzzles.narkive.com/ is still Down.



There's a little glitch that's preventing me from posting on Csiph
---------- it may be something on my browser


Is anyone else having this issue ?


Am I just about the only person posting from CsiPh ?

As always, it helps to have something more to go on than it's broken.
Error message, missing option, what?

i've often used nntp.csiph.com, and other public newsservers, for read-only usenet access using the 40tude dialog client in ms windows, and i've tested csiph.com, first without registration (http://csiph.com/register), and that works great for searching headers and body (article retention ~ 10.8 years), then i registered, and posted several test messages that posted immediately, and afaik, csiph.com is currently the only public web2news server that will search globally across all newsgroups, on that server, for both headers and body (http://csiph.com/search)... csiph.com works swimmingly in tor browser

also, i use whitelisting filters on overview headers to automatically watch real (non-chatbot) contributors, while the global ignore filter !move(junk) from * automatically moves everything else (troll farm chatter) to the junk folder, thus only articles posted from watched contributors/topics/servers/ etc. bypass the global ignore flag, even those that are cross-posted, which greatly reduces visible newsgroup article headers in some newsgroups, while rendering other newsgroups deaf as a post... this keeps the troll farm away, having already killfiled hundreds of the most common troll aliases/subjects, allowing cursory review of the junk folder before purging, sometimes to add another killfile entry, or more rarely a new whitelisting, then purge, done

if this gets posted, then it'd mean that the problem got fixed.

It also means that you have no idea what test groups are for
(amongst others). Now could you kindly stop changing From addresses
so one doesn't have to keep adding to a killfile to ignore your
off-topic, poorly quoted drivel?
