A = 0
B = 2
C = 1
D = 1
E = 1
A + E = B - E = C * E = 1
… x = 4
Not sure what you’re trying to say? But the puzzle mentions that A, B, C, D and E must be positive, so A can’t be 0.
Any clues for validator 1 and validator 2?
I’m pretty sure I did everything correct since it’s passed all build-in tests.
But when I submit it’s failed on Validator 1 and 2.
The input numbers in Validator 1 are just random numbers.
The input numbers in Validator 2 are either very small numbers or very large numbers (the upper end of the constrained range of X). So you may try to debug by first checking whether your code produces correct answers for very small X.

Thank you!
It seems it does. It passes the built-in test 2 which includes both small and large numbers. But still fails submitting validators.

Solved. Thanks for the clue!
I’ve added x < 8 condition to prevent useless calculations and it was hiding my algorithm defect.
