You mean with smart guessing? That's no fun!

Yeah. It took me three guesses to get it right. :)

You didn't need 3 guesses. The sum of each partition has to be a factor of the number. In particular the sum of the
first
partition has to be a factor. Then the second. That already gives you the answer I think.

Sure, but then I'd actually have to look at the numbers. My solution works without having to download the file! ;)
