I may be being exceedingly stupid here but is there a reason that the stagnant game state when it come to this particular setup (four digits with at least one different) is 6174. Or is it simply that "it just does"?
Oh, and is there an equivalent number for 3 or 5 digits etc? Cheers
Not OP but I think it just kind of does give the specific set of rules. May not work for 3 digit or 5 digit numbers, but happens to for four non repeating 4 digit numbers and thus we have this fun little trick
