Information about the winner and the solution
My dashboard (vintage 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser wood-grained wagon)
has two mile-measuring thingys on it:
A) an odometer that measures how many miles my car has traveled
since it was born;
[_][_][_][_][_][_] <-- this is A
B) a "trip" odometer that measures how many miles the car has
traveled since I last set it to zero by pushing a button.
[_][_][_][_] * <-- this is B (* is the button!)
But the button is broken, and I can no longer reset it to 0000 !
Well, I often look at my dashboard, and the other day it looked like:
9 0 5 8 7 4
1 3 6 2 *
The numbers were all different. I was truly amazed. I wondered how far
I would have to travel before this happened again. When it wasn't obvious
how to figure this out ... I thought this might be worthy of the POTM crew!
