Quite ambiguous challenge. We are suppsed to find certain value? What should the representation of the number be? Should it be integer? I can find quite a lot of numbers that fit the spec...
Yeah, it is indeed a bit ambigous and "crappy"
I assumed one would try to calculate a number that fits. Try integers.
If you try the first obvious number that fits, you get a message that a bigger number is required.
Now try to calculate the next number that would work.

Tanks for the clarification and for revisiting your calculations! Beyond the working floating point cited in the first post (that still produces 31337 as hash) I was also trying the integer solution without success till today. Now it works!
