You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The zip code can end in 0,2,4, or 8
If it ends in 0, Then 0 is not allowed
in the 1st 4 digits, so
9%2A8%2A7%2A6%2A1 are the possible codes
---------
If it ends in 2, then
9%2A8%2A7%2A6%2A1 are possible codes
---------
If it ends in 4, then
9%2A8%2A7%2A6%2A1 possible
---------
If it ends in 8, then
9%2A8%2A7%2A6%2A1 possible
---------
Summing these:
+4%2A9%2A8%2A7%2A6%2A1
(I can't find calculator)
