Hello all, I tried to solve Problem 24 (https://projecteuler.net/problem=24) and came up with the following solution: import Data.List.Ordered import Data.Char elems = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] :: [Int] x = do a <- elems b <- elems `without` [a] c <- elems `without` [a,b] d <- elems `without` [a,b,c] e <- elems `without` [a,b,c,d] f <- elems `without` [a,b,c,d,e] g <- elems `without` [a,b,c,d,e,f] h <- elems `without` [a,b,c,d,e,f,g] i <- elems `without` [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h] j <- elems `without` [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i] return [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j] without a b = minus a ( sort b) solution = filter isDigit $ show $ (x !! 1000001) -- "2783915640" PE tells me that this is wrong, and I peeked the correct answer, which is 2783915460 (the 4 and 6 are swapped). So I tried to find out where the correct answer is in my list x and added y = filter (\(x,y) -> x == "2783915460") $ zip (map (filter isDigit . show) x) [1..] -- [("2783915460",1000000)] How can that be? "solution" tells me that the millionth element is "2783915640" but "y" tells me that "2783915460" is at the millionth position? I just cannot see it.
