OK, guys, here's a hint to 'number' problem.

The answer depends upon the ranges from which the numbers are chosen.
The unique solution for the ranges [2,62] through [2,500+] is 4 and 13.
The unique solution for the ranges [3,94] through [3,500+] is A and B.
There are no unique solutions for the ranges starting with 1, and there are no solutions for ranges starting with numbers above 3.

I modify the problem:
1) Remake Mr.S.'s and Mr.P.'s reasoning for S=17 and P=26.
2) Find A and B.

Whoever solves this has VERY high IQ (by my opinion).
