Yes, before we golf this further, does it even work?
I gave the original version the input
003020600900305001001806400008102900700000008006708200002609500800203009005010300
which should solve to
483921657967345821251876493548132976729564138136798245372689514814253769695417382
but it just kept running and running and printing variations on strings like
The solution is:
21345678945678912378912345612436589736589721489721436554163297867894153293257864
which is one digit too short, and has incorrect numbers in many places...
It's possible I didn't wait long enough, but most solvers can finds
that answer in under a second.
