Puzzler Ha 51 999 GOING IN REVERSEe e e Submitted by Steve Arndt, AEOD ) If you chose a three-digit number, other than 000 (462, forexample) andreverse the digits (462 would become 264), then subtract the smaller from the larger number (462 - 264 - 198), then reverse the digits of the results (198 becomes 891) and add them together(198 + 891 - 1089), the answeris 1089. This works for any three-digit number you choose, notjust the one in the example. This trick and ones like it have been used by magicians andpeople whojustlike to have fun with their friends for years.- But, how does it work? To solve this puzzler, show why any three-digit number will give this result.
