Problem 45:
Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following formulae:
Triangle Tn=n(n+1)/2 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...
Pentagonal Pn=n(3n1)/2 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
Hexagonal Hn=n(2n1) 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...
It can be verified that T285 = P165 = H143 = 40755.
Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal.

Problem 44: Pentagonal numbers are generated by the formula, Pn=n(3*n-1)/2. The first ten pentagonal numbers are:
1, 5, 12, 22, 35, 51, 70, 92, 117, 145, ...
It can be seen that P4 + P7 = 22 + 70 = 92 = P8. However, their difference, 70 – 22 = 48, is not pentagonal.
Find the pair of pentagonal numbers, Pj and Pk, for which their sum and difference is pentagonal and D = |Pk – Pj| is minimised; what is the value of D?
Problem 43: The number, 1406357289, is a 0 to 9 pandigital number because it is made up of each of the digits 0 to 9 in some order, but it also has a rather interesting sub-string divisibility property.
Let d1 be the 1st digit, d2 be the 2nd digit, and so on. In this way, we note the following:
Problem 42: The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by, tn = ½n(n+1);
Using this word list, convert each letter in a word to a number corresponding to its alphabetical position and adding these values we form a word value. For example, the word value for SKY is 19 + 11 + 25 = 55 = t10. If the word value is a triangle number then we shall call the word a triangle word.
How many are triangle words?
Problem 41: We shall say that an n-digit number is pandigital if it makes use of all the digits 1 to n exactly once. For example, 2143 is a 4-digit pandigital and is also prime.
What is the largest n-digit pandigital prime that exists?
Problem 40: An irrational decimal fraction is created by concatenating the positive integers:
0.123456789101112131415161718192021...
It can be seen that the 12th digit of the fractional part is 1.
If dn represents the nth digit of the fractional part, find the value of the following expression.
d1 x d10 x d100 x d1000 x d10000 x d100000 x d1000000
Problem 39: If p is the perimeter of a right angle triangle with integral length sides, {a,b,c}, there are exactly three solutions for p = 120.
{20,48,52}, {24,45,51}, {30,40,50}
For which value of p 1000, is the number of solutions maximised?
Problem 38: Given the following example:
192 x 1 = 192
192 x 2 = 384
192 x 3 = 576
By concatenating each product we get the 1 to 9 pandigital, 192384576. We will call 192384576 the concatenated product of 192 and (1,2,3)
What is the largest 1 to 9 pandigital 9-digit number that can be formed as the concatenated product of an integer with (1,2, … , n) where n > 1?
Problem 37: The number 3797 has an interesting property. Being prime itself, it is possible to continuously remove digits from left to right, and remain prime at each stage: 3797, 797, 97, and 7. Similarly we can work from right to left: 3797, 379, 37, and 3.
Find the sum of the only eleven primes that are both truncatable from left to right and right to left.
Problem 36: Find the sum of all numbers less than one million, which are palindromic in base 10 and base 2.
