That is a question. The answer is you just asked something, so you are the asker. As I've solved your question, it is my turn. :D :p Nah, just kidding, it is Gabriel's turn.

I'll wait for Gabriel's question and I'll try to think of one just in case I answer one today. :)

hmm... Does Michael Jones have anything to do with our Brad :D ;) :)

I Don't know. I suspect not though.

While we wait Gabriel, Do you want me to ask you a new question?

We don't wait for Gabriel so go ahead! ;)

A mathematical entertainment.

I don't know if this is a correct translation but do you know what is a self-describing number?

A self-describing number is the number which its first digit from the left is the number of zeroes which has this number, the second digit is the number of "1" which has the number, the third digit is the number of "2"... and so on.

There are only 7 self-describing numbers (this concept has no sense for numbers with more than 10 digits)

For example

1210

2020

21200

Question:

Could you tell me wich is the only self-describing number with 10 digits.?

P.S. Posting the other 4 self-describing numbers is also welcome. ;)

6210001000

Is that right? :)

Nice problem doctor....

Don't know the answer (in fact, I'm not sure I even understand the question) but I'm afraid I'm under pressure here to bow out of this thread.

It's a lovely idea but it's generating 10 - 15 emails an hour which I just can't deal with (at least, not if I want to keep my job!!)

Good luck, riddlers!
