How long is the largest group of numbers?

The title is the problem's question.

The process is:

  • the base is 10
  • the number of digits summed is 2
  • make a list of the integers from 0 to base ^ digits -1 called input
  • set groups to an empty list
  • while the length of the input is greater than 0 do until matching end of while
  • set v to the first element of input
  • set input to the remainder of input
  • set group to the list of the integer digits of v using the base base zero padded on the left to the length digits as necessary
  • set d to the sum of the last digits integers in groups modulus base
  • append d to the end of the group
  • while the first digits integers of group do not match the last digits integers of group do until matching *end of while
  • set v to the last digits of group using base base (consider the last digits integers of group as the digits of a digits digit base base integer)
  • remove from input any integers that match v
  • set d to the sum of the last digits integers in groups modulus base (add up the digits of v and set d to the modulus base (take the last digit))
  • append d to the end of the group
  • end of while
  • after dropping the last digits values from group , append group as a value to groups
  • end of while

What is the length of the longest value within the list groups ?


The answer is 60.

The longest group is (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,3,1,4,5,9,4,3,7,0,7,7,4,1,5,6,1,7,8,5,3,8,1,9,0,9,9,8,7,5,2,7,9,6,5,1,6,7,3,0,3,3,6,9,5,4,9,3,2,5,7,2,9,1},{0,2,2,4,6,0,6,6,2,8,0,8,8,6,4,0,4,4,8,2)
