I found this use of "last digit" that conforms to this group's
"common sense" interpretation:

From http://www.justriddlesandmore.com/math2.html
> What is the four-digit number (no zeros) in which the third digit
is the number of "winds," the first digit is one-half of the third,
the second digit is double the third and the last digit is one-half
the sum of the first three?
