We have 7 digits. They are currently unknown for now. Let's say the digits are: A,B,C,D,E,F,G

A = millions digit
B = hundred thousands digit
C = ten thousands digit
D = thousands digit
E = hundreds digit
F = tens digit
G = units digit

We're told that the "tens digit is 3", so F = 3

We're given "My thousands digit is 2." so D = 2

Also, we're given "My tens thousands digit is 8." so C = 8

"My hundreds digit is twice the thousands digit." means E = 2*D

"My thousands digit is thrice the tens digit." means D = 3*F

But wait, we have a problem. If D = 3F and D = 2 and F = 3, then we have a contradiction. There is no way that D is three times bigger than F if D = 2 and F = 3.

So there is a typo in this problem. Please double check to make sure you've typed it in correctly. Thank you.
