+# [[2017-03-06] Challenge #305 [Easy] Permutation base](https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/5xu7sz/20170306_challenge_305_easy_permutation_base/)
+
+There may be an actual name to this base system (let us/me know in comments),
+and there is a math insight that makes this problem even easier, but it is
+still pretty easy with no math insight.
+
+For *permutation base 2*, the indexes and values start with:
+
+| index | value |
+| :---: | ----: |
+|   0   |    0  |
+|   1   |    1  |
+|   2   |   00  |
+|   3   |   01  |
+|   4   |   10  |
+|   5   |   11  |
+|   6   |  000  |
+|   7   |  001  |
+|   8   |  010  |
+|   9   |  011  |
+
+## Sample challenge
+
+What is the base-value for index `54`?
+
+What is the index-value for base `111000111`?
+
+## Example
+
+    permbase2 54
+    1 1 0 0 0
+
+    permbase2 inv 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1
+    965
+
+## Challenge index inputs (some are 64-bit+ inputs)
+
+    234234234
+    234234234234234
+    234234234234234234234234
+
+## Challenge value inputs
+
+    000111000111111000111111000111111000111
+    11111111000111000111111000111111000111111000111
+
+## Bonus
+
+Extend the function to work with any base. Base 10 index value `10` is `00`.
+Index value `109` is `99`

+# [[2017-03-10] Challenge #305 [Hard] Numbers for Sale](https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/5yoo87/20170310_challenge_305_hard_numbers_for_sale/)
+
+## Description
+
+KimCo Global, the global corporation from DPRK, is secretly developing an
+awesome new  product for its loyal costumers called Number. It is what is says
+- Number, but not just any Number, each Number is a unique positive integer.
+Each number costs its value - so 1 costs $1, 5 costs $5, etc. KimCo Global puts
+each number from 1 to 10^15 on sale. 
+
+Your friend, a salesman for KimCo Global, needs your help to optimize their
+profits. He received all available Numbers whose sum of digits equals 69 and
+seeks to sell them for the highest value he can. His regular accountant is of
+no help, can you assist?
+
+What is the total of positive integers less than 10^15 whose sum of digits
+equal 69?
+
+## Credit
+
+This challenge was suggested by user /u/raluralu, many thanks. If you have any
+challenge ideaas, please do share them on /r/dailyprogrammer_ideas and there's
+a good chance we'll use them. 
+
+## EDIT 2017-03-11
+
+There's been some discussion about the ambiguity of this challenge - is it
+asking for the *sum* of all of those Numbers or the *quantity* of Numbers that
+fit the constraint? I have to admit the original submission from
+/r/dailyprogrammer_ideas was also a bit ambiguous. I believe the submitter who
+wrote it does not speak English natively, and so they had some ambiguity in
+their presentation. As such, I copied their question complete with ambiguity. 
+
+Because of this, I think either will be fine - the sum or the quantity. 
+
+The real challenge, and why this is a Friday hard one, is writing a better than
+naive solution as some of you have picked up. Some of it is math and some of it
+is programming.

+# [[2017-03-08] Challenge #305 [Intermediate] The Best Conjunction](https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/5yaiin/20170308_challenge_305_intermediate_the_best/)
+
+## Description
+
+Your job is to find the best conjunction—that is, find the word with the most
+sub-words inside of it given a list of English words. Some example include:
+
+* Something (3 words: So, me, thing)
+* Awesomeness (3 words: awe, some, ness)
+
+## Formal Inputs & Outputs
+
+### Input description
+
+Use a [list of English words](http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/wordlist)
+and a *minimum sub-word length* (the smallest length of a sub-word in a
+conjuncted word) to find the *best conjunction* (most sub-words) in the
+dictionary!
+
+### Output description
+
+    minSize 3: disproportionateness (6: dis, pro, port, ion, ate, ness)
+    minSize 4: dishonorableness (4: dish, onor, able, ness)
+
+Find minSize 5
+
+## Notes/Hints
+
+* Be aware the file is split by `\r\n` instead of `\n`, and has some empty
+  lines at the end
+* In order to run in a reasonable amount of time, you will need an O(1) way of
+  checking if a word exists. (Hint: It won't be O(1) memory)
+* Make sure you're checking all possibilities—that is, given the word *sotto*,
+  if you begin with *so*, you will find that there is no word or combination of
+  words to create *tto*. You must continue the search in order to get the
+  conjunction of *sot* and *to*.
+
+## Bonus
+
+* Each sub-word must include the last letter of the previous subword. For
+  example *counterrevolutionary* would become *count*, *terre*, *evolution*,
+  *nary*
+* Instead of simply the last letter, allow any number of letters to be shared
+  between words (e.g. *consciencestricken* -> *conscience*, *sciences*,
+  *stricken*)
