I have a strong feeling that today's mscroggs.co.uk Advent problem has a bug

https://www.mscroggs.co.uk/

Or am I missing something?

(Double-checked with my son and he too feels there's at least one typo).

EDIT: No error, we unconsciously set an arbitrary restriction on the digit position that made it impossible.

At least it was easier to calculate than the last math exam I had in college. Given a parabula ax^2 up to a height h, rotate it around the y axis to make a vase, fill it to half its volume, to what angle can you tilt this vase before the water spills (disregard physical effects)

Question: Is the following statement true (or under which conditions is it true):

\[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x) = f(x) \implies \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(g(n)) = \lim_{n \to \infty} f(g(n)) \]

I asked ChatGPT “I have a ten-liter bucket, a five-liter bucket, and 50-milliliter shot glass. How do I use these items to measure a 50-milliliter shot of bourbon?” Its answer was hilariously long and wrong.

#mathproblem Find all positive integers a,b,c such that a^b-b^c = (a+b)^(c-b).

I found two: (2,1,1) and (7,3,5). I have no idea if there are any more.

#MathProblem if you throw a dice 10 times, and each time let's assume you'll get nr 1 🎲 (10 times in a row). How many times you'll have to flip a coin and get the same side to reach the probability equivalent of throwing a dice with the mark 1, 10 times in a row? @syscrash call your friends :apple_1: 😜
