Hi
New to the forum and dont know where to start or what iam looking for is called. The basics is that its a calulation based on date and a fixed number that returns a 6digit number.
What i have found so far is a date of 07/09/1992 with a fixed number of 128 (which is variable) returns a number of 997823
Anybody point me in the right direction to learn whats happening and how it comes to the answer.
Thanks
Perhaps you could explain a bit more...Quote:

Which way do you want to explain more?
All i have gathered is it generates a number that changes every day, I can PM you if you to know more.
There are an infinite number of ways to do that.Quote:

Assuming the "(which is a variable)" was an error, there are still a number of ways to produce a single number from "07/09/1992" and combine it with 128 to get 997823. I would be interested in knowing how you got that!

Sorry about the post not explaining the 128 correctley, basically the 128 is a fixed number that could be changed from 1 to 256 to alter the output.
My initial post is based on the on the workings using 128, if that makes sense.
Maybe you can write down a table of inputs and outputs and we can see what's going on. With just one case it's close to impossible to say.
