Problem Statement
Call a super-integer an infinite sequence of decimal digits: . (Formally speaking, it is the sequence )Given two such super-integers and , their product is formed by taking to be the last n digits of the product and .
Can we find two non-zero super-integers with zero product?
(a zero super-integer has all its digits zero)
