Hi All,
Let me try and define the problem precisely (as far as I can).
The ATM machines, which we generally see in India have the following

You could compute the logarithm of the number to the base 3 and see if
the result is an integer.

Can we evaluate the logarithm any more efficiently that repeated division by
3?
