  • Paper
  • Answer

For a permutation p=(a1,a2,…,a9)p = (a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_9) of the digits 1,2,…,91,2,\ldots,9, let s(p)s(p) denote the sum of the three 33-digit numbers a1a2a3a_1a_2a_3, a4a5a6a_4a_5a_6, and a7a8a9a_7a_8a_9. Let mm be the minimum value of s(p)s(p) subject to the condition that the units digit of s(p)s(p) is 00. Let nn denote the number of permutations pp with s(p)=ms(p) = m. Find ∣m−n∣|m - n|.
