Ana and Banana are playing a game. Initially, Ana secretly picks a number $1\leq A\leq 10^6$. In each subsequent turn of the game, Banana may pick a positive integer $B$, and Ana will reveal to him the most common digit in the product $A\cdot B$ (written in decimal notation). In the case when at least two digits are tied for being the most common, Ana will reveal all of them to Banana. For example, if $A\cdot B=2022$, Ana will tell Banana that the digit $2$ is the most common, while if $A\cdot B=5783783$, Ana will reveal that $3, 7$ and $8$ are the most common. Banana's goal is to determine with certainty the number $A$ after some number of turns. Does he have a winning strategy?

Albrecht is travelling in his car on the motorway at a constant speed. The journey is very long so Marvin who is sitting next to Albrecht gets bored and decides to calculate the speed of the car. He was a bit careless but he noted that at noon they passed milestone $XY$ (where $X$ and $Y$ are digits), at $12:42$ milestone $YX$ and at $1$pm they arrived at milestone $X0Y$. What did Marvin deduce, what is the speed of the car?
