Think of a three-figure number.

Any three-figure number will do, so long as the first and last figures differ by 2 or more. Now reverse it, and substract the smaller number form the larger. So, for example,

782 - 287 = 495.

Finally, reverse the new three-figure number, and add:

495 + 594 = 1089.

At the end of this procedure, then, we have a final answer of 1089, though we have to expect, surely, that this final answer will depend on which three-figure number we start with. But it doesn't. The final answer always turns out to be 1089.

interresting... i hate Math! unless it's $$$

642 - 246 = 396 + 693 = 1089

2+9 = 11 - 1= 1 silly git.

821-128=46

46+64=1089



Yer right... :O
