Okay guys,
I am here to ask you if you could please, please help me with figuring this out.
If you can help me in time, I may slide some forum cheese your way.
This needs to be figured out ASAP.

Jack's new telephone number, including the area code, forms a ten-digit number consisting of a pair of 1's separated by one digit, a pair of 2's separated by 2 digits, a pair of 3's and a pair of 4's, each separated by three digits, and a pair of 5's separated by five digits. Neither the sixth nor the ninth digit is a 4. What is Jack's telephone number?

Please help guys.

Thanks a lot. :love:
