more than one solution
 
continuing with Greg's solution

A = 20132013 is one solution other solutions are A + 2013 *100 * n as long as 2013 * n < 10000 so n = 0 to 4 giving 20132013(this is A itself) , 20333313, 20534613,20735913, 20937213.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
