Problem Statement
Two mathematicians, Kelly and Jason, play a cooperative game. The computer selects some secret positive integer (both Kelly and Jason know that , but that they don't know what the value of is). The computer tells Kelly the unit digit of , and it tells Jason the number of divisors of . Then, Kelly and Jason have the following dialogue:
Kelly: I don't know what is, and I'm sure that you don't know either. However, I know that is divisible by at least two different primes.
Jason: Oh, then I know what the value of is.
Kelly: Now I also know what is.
Assuming that both Kelly and Jason speak truthfully and to the best of their knowledge, what are all the possible values of ?
