The nearest multiple of 1296 that is less than 164,600 is 164,592, a difference of only 8. A suspicious reader such as myself might suppose that Nack began with the exact multiple, and then added just enough trials to turn the take/pass decision into a perfect tie.

I should have known you'd be paying attention. :)

Actually, once I got close to four zeros, I added two trials at a time, in order to get an even number (making it less likely to be instantly busted as a non-1296-multiple).

I may well have missed something earlier, but from the time that I started watching closely, the first quad-zero that was also 50.0% (i.e., not 50.1 or 50.2) came at 161786, and was also there at 161794, 161796 and 161798. It came back to quad-zero 50.0% after a few hundred and I almost settled for the repeater-number 162222, but subsequently, by trying only multiples of 100 and 1296, eventually found 164600. (The 1296-multiple of 164592 was a quad-zero but at the imperfect 50.1%, as I recall.)

I never did find a 1296-multiple that coincided with quad-zero 50.0%. Then again, I never expected to get as lucky as I did.

There's always different seed numbers, if you want to try. I'm sure that ultimately you could even find a workable multiple of 12960. But I suspect you can make better use of your CPU time. :)
