This is a project Euler puzzle. http://projecteuler.net/problem=30
I applied brute force way and here is my code
k=0for p in range(1,10):    for q in range(0,10):        for r in range(0,10):            for s in range(0,10):                for t in range(0,10):                 n = (p*10000)+ (q*1000) + (r*100) + (s*10) + (t*1)                 if n == \                     p**5 + q**5 + r**5 + s**5 + t**5:                        print n                        k+=nprint k
My answer: 240559
But its showing the answer as wrong!!.
I used the same method on the example puzzle and it worked.
