Problem 1804. Fangs of a vampire number
A vampire number is a number v that is the product of two numbers x and y such that the following conditions are satisfied:
- at most one of x and y is divisible by 10;
- x and y have the same number of digits; and
- The digits in v consist of the digits of x and y (including any repetitions).
If these conditions are met, x and y are known as "fangs" of v. For example, 1260 is a vampire number because 1260 = 21*60, so 21 and 60 are the fangs.
Write a function that determines whether two numbers are fangs of a vampire number.

Sorry for all the false positives. I have added more test cases.

It turns out that the difference in meaning between "not both" and "both not" is critical to this problem. Do'h! Took me a while to figure out where I was going wrong. :P

Exactly what I like in Cody. Interesting and modular problem, with good explanations.
What else ?
