Ok I might have confused you, I have my number.

Why do I think that a calculator will be required?

Ok, now, both of you, reverse the number you picked.

For example, if you'd picked 967 (taken frmo my post count number), now reverse it to 769.

Then subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

For example, I would subract as follows:

967
-769
______
198

Then, let me know when you've both done that.

Well, Mike took too long, so I'm going to bed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'm done

Tom, hold on a moment – we're almost done. It'll be worthwhile.

I'm waiting with Annnnnticipation!

Randy, is your remaining number 2 digits, or three digits?

3

OK -- done!

2

OK, then.

Take your result, and reverse it. The add it to your result.

For example, I would take the number 198, and add 891.
