Two successive digits and divisibility puzzle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding all possible 8-digit integers of the form ABCDEFGH, where each letter represents a unique digit from 1 to 9, that meet specific divisibility conditions. Key findings include that E must be 5 due to condition IV, leading to F being 6 from condition V, and G being 3 from condition VI. The digits C and D are determined to be 4 and 9, respectively, based on condition III, while A can be either 1 or 7 from condition I. The valid combinations yield the numbers 18495632 and 78495632. The puzzle emphasizes the importance of digit uniqueness and adherence to divisibility rules.

B C F H @ [2 4 6 8]
A D G @ [1 3 7 9]

DE/5 -> E=5
EF/8 -> EF=56-> F=6
FG/9 -> FG=63-> G=3
GH/4 -> GH=32-> H=2

A D @ [1 7 9]
B C @ [4 8]

CD/7 -> CD=49-> C=4, D=9, B=8
AB/2 -> A=1,7

ABCDEFGH=18495632, 78495632

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
