yes i can.

--------------------

My Boss it trying to stump me and so far succeded.

Here it is:

  • There are five digits.
  • They are all different.
  • Only one digit is not prime, and is not an integer power of an integer other than the trivial solution of an exponent of one.
  • The digits are sorted, but not in ascending or descending order.

* * * * *

The digits are 2,3,5,6 and 7 which can form 120 different numbers. The fact that they are not in ascending or descending order reduces that by 2, but that still leaves 118.

And that is excluding the possibility that the non-prime is zero.
