Weighing the integers

W ( n ) = k = 1 log n + 1 ( 2 k n ( m o d 1 0 k ) 1 0 k 1 ) . W(n) = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor\log n\rfloor + 1}\left( 2^k\left\lfloor\frac{n \pmod{10^k}}{10^{k-1}}\right\rfloor\right).

Define the weight of a positive integer n n as above.

Without a calculator (of course), find the last three digits of the largest positive integer τ ( 0 , 1 0 5 ) \tau \in \left(0,10^5\right) that satisfies 16 W ( τ ) = τ 16\cdot W(\tau) = \tau .

Note. This is the easy semi-bashy version; if I ever get around to it, I will post my other version.


The answer is 792.
