Introduction
I’m thinking of a number written with five digits. It’s a decimal between 26 and 27, and it has only even digits. All its digits are different.
Headline Story
- The first two digits of the number are 2 and 6. Many numbers are possible.
- The smallest number is 26.048.
- Other numbers are 26.084, 26.408, 26.480, 26.804, and 26.840. These six numbers differ only by the order of the digits after the decimal point.
