::: You are of course completely right -- I stupidly overlooked the initial 0 in the algorithm and examples, ouch. Thanks for taking the time to set me straight :). [[User:BlackFingolfin|BlackFingolfin]] ([[User talk:BlackFingolfin|talk]]) 08:26, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
== Trailing zeros? ==
The article explains that leading zeros have no effect on the checksum but that is probably not a weakness but a strength. If there is a weakness, surely it is that trailing zeros have no effect? 13, 130, 1300 and 13000 are all valid. An easy defence would be to reject all numbers ending in (one or more) zeros.

Whilst I'm thinking about zeros, the weaknesses section says that no checksum algorithm is affected by leading zeros. But it looks to me like Verhoeff is.
