Can anyone clarify it to me what the problem is actually asking?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Comments

Look at the input given:

3
0 1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 0 1
2 3 4 5 6 7

This means you got 3 cubes, each of these cubes whose faces are given to be the 3 sextuplets of integers.

Now's let's form all the non-negative integers starting 0 by using each of the die at most once to form the digits.

Can we form the number 0 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 1 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 2 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 3 from these 3 dice? Yes.
$\vdots$
Can we form the number 85 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 86 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 87 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 88 from these 3 dice? No. (Because there's no 2 dice that has a face of 8)

So the answer is 87.

Shouldn't it be like this?

Can we form the number 87 from these 3 dice? Yes.
Can we form the number 88 from these 3 dice? No. (No two cubes with digit 8)

So the answer is 87.

You're right. I've updated my text.

@Pi Han Goh – Thank you

@Nazmus Sakib, That is, there are n dice, with a number of 0-9 on each face. Find the longest consecutive number in the group, you can not use all the dice. For example, there is only one 8 in example 1, so 88 cannot be combined, and 1 -87 can be combined, all answers are 87, this is a water problem, n range is 1-3, direct violence is enough, save all combinations into an array, and then traverse to find out the number that cannot be combined.
