Pfffffffft!  Total bullshit.
This is just another string manipulation problem in disguise.
It embodies no number theoretic concepts.  None.  It's a kindergarten
exercise.
In contrast, problem 26 is a definite number theoretic problem.  The
concepts involved, like Euler's Totient function, are at the graduate level.
But I suppose that all solutions given to #26 involved bullshit brute force --
except for MINE.
