the lead digit should be 9
to be divisible by 10 , two of the digits must be 5 and 2 , or 5 and 4
We can rule out 5 and 6, and 5 and 8, since the sum would be greater than 9
let's try 952X, X must be 2, but all digits must be different
let's try 9540, no good, since we can't have a product of all the digits being zero
ok, how about the lead digit being 8
then we need 8521, yup, that's the one
What is the greatest four-digit integer that meets the following three restrictions ?
