Pattern recognition problem: if $2 star 8 star 8 = 161642dots$ then M=?
$begingroup$
The following sequence was given to me:
$$color{red}{2 star 8 star 8 = 161642}$$
$$color{blue}{4 star 9 star 7 = 362843}$$
$$color{red}{7 star 5 star 9 = 356344}$$
$$color{blue}{9 star 6 star 8 = 547245}$$
$$color{red}{5 star 7 star 9 = 354546}$$
$$color{blue}{3 star 9 star 9 = 272748}$$
$$color{red}{4 star 8 star 9 = text{M}}$$
$color{red}{text{M}}$ = ?
My Thoughts:
The first two digits of R.H.S can be found by $a.b$ , where L.H.S = $a star b star c$ ,
i.e, For 1st relation: $2.8=16 = 1^{st}$ two digits of $color{green}{16}1642$
Similarly,the second two digits of R.H.S can be found by $a.c$ , where L.H.S = $a star b star c$ ,
i.e, For 2nd relation: $4.7=28 = 2^{nd} $ two digits of $36 color{green}{28}43$
$$implies M= 3236 , _ , _$$
How do I find the $3^{rd}$ two digits of R.H.S?

M=
$323647$
because
the first four digits are as you gave. The fifth digit is $4$. The final digit is $1$+the lowest digit in the opening local sequence that hasn't already been used by the previous entries in the global sequence. In this case $2+1=3,3+1=4$ and $4+1=5$ have already been used previously, leaving $6+1=7$ as the last digit.
