Well, the answer is 6237. The clue was the coeffecients of a polynomial, red for negative, black for positive.

The formula and solution is there in the link.

The solution of x = {-6,2,3,7} gives us 6237 when entered into a keypad.

It was just a little math riddle that I wanted to get out of my head....

So who's next? If any.....
