The point of this challenge is to find the smallest positive integer that uses up at least all of the digits supplied in the input after it is squared and cubed.

So, when provided an input such as 0123456789 (i.e. a number that finds the result):

69² = 4761
69³ = 328509

It means that 69 is the result of such an input. (Fun fact: 69 is the smallest number that uses up all of the decimal digits of 0 to 9 after squaring and cubing.)

Specification

The input doesn't have to be unique. For example, the input can be 1466 and here's the result:

4² = 16
4³ = 64

That means we can't just fulfill this input by just doing a number that only uses 1 digit of 6, it has to have 2 digits of 6 in the output.

Test cases

Here's an exhaustive list of all numbers from 1 to 10000.

1333 (or 3133/3313/3331) -> 111

Input specification

  • You may take input as a list of digits.
  • Since the test cases (somehow) have a bug in it, here's an extra rule: the 0's in the input will be ignored.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Can you explain what happens when there are zeros in the input. For example with an input of 50 your list says the output should be 5 which gives us the digits 25 125 which contains no zeros. Does this mean we can ignore zeros in the input? because your example with 69 as an output did not imply that. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @LevelRiverSt I think that list was created with a buggy implementation that didn't check for the square being zero when the cube was zero. My answer doesn't have that issue. \$\endgroup\$

By the way it's quite slow...
