For Max Stout’s various accounts and cards he has nine different 4-digit PINs to remember. For security reasons none of them is the multiple of another, and none is an anagram of another. He has written these PINs in a 3-by-3 array with one PIN in each place in the array. It turns out that the product of the three PINs in any row, column or main diagonal is the same.
