Project Euler #8 NOT related to overflow

Question

I too am attempting Project Euler #8. I know what the right answer is, but I'm getting something different. I'm using all ulong in a checked block, so this isn't related to overflow.

Here's the problem:

The four adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have the greatest product are 9 × 9 × 8 × 9 = 5832.

Find the thirteen adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have the greatest product. What is the value of this product?

And here's my implementation (using LinqPad). I keep getting an answer of 10077696000 but I know the answer is actually 23514624000 ;

Answer 1

Your argument is incorrect , something went wrong when you copy pasted and you lost 7 :

// current code
string digit = "...227443043556689664895044524452316173185640..." 
// should be
string digit = "...2274430435576689664895044524452316173185640..."
                              ^
                              |
                            missed 

Edit: To spot this I've solved the problem myself:..

      string digit = ...;

      int numDigits = 13;

      var result = Enumerable
        .Range(0, digit.Length - numDigits + 1)
        .Select(start => digit
           .Skip(start)
           .Take(numDigits)
           .Aggregate(1L, (s, a) => s * (a - '0')))
        .Max();

...And I got the incorrect result ( 10077696000 ), then I copy pasted data from the original site and got the right outcome ( 23514624000 ). All I had to do is to compare inputs.
