Went for brute force method as well. Was think setup a macro to generate rows, but I found it is easier just to do copy & paste as answer workflow did. Added filter just to reduce output rows.

 

Run under 1 minute with AMP engine. 

Not a dynamic solution.

Challenge #239. Worked through assumptions and concluded M=1; O=0; S=9. Randomly assigned other variables into an iterative macro that can take seconds to a few minutes.

Most of the methods I tried were taking a long time to calc, based on brute force. After trying a Pandas Python frame I noticed someone else utilize, I had to go that route, a 5 second calc was just insane compared to the brute force methodology.  Couldn't have gotten this without other contributors in the community.

Sometimes I think I'm getting good at Alteryx and then I end up doing a challenge with a brute force like this! In retrospect I obviously should have set positional conditions before running it through the macro.
