Problem of the Week #25

Posted: May 22, 2015

Uncle Buck was driving to Blackville when he spotted a big moose on the side of the road. He screeched to a stop, jumped out of his car. He saw the outline of a number on the moose. He couldn't quite see the number, but he knew it was a 4 digit number. And: a) He remembered seeing a number 1.  b) In the hundred's place he remembers the number is 3 times the number in the thousand's place.  c) He said the number in the one's place is 4 times the number in the ten's place.  d) Finally he said the number 2 is sitting in the thousand's place. What is the number?  All solutions must be submitted by noon time on Friday, May 29th.
