Time for MATH MINUTE! (provide your favorite theme music here). 

       Get out your paper & pencil because I have a new puzzle for you!!


       (- I had to change the name of this puzzle because it was the same as Puzzle #42)

 

 

Puzzle #48: Find the number mystery

 

       Choose a 3-digit number, but do not tell me what it is.

       Write it down and also write it in reverse.

       Subtract the smaller number from the larger.

       If you tell me the first two digits of the answer I can always tell you the third digit.

       How do I do it?

 

 


      Send your comments, ideas and solutions before Monday to this email address, and be sure to put  MM  in the subject line:   parksjm@potsdam.edu

         Visit us here online to see the results every Monday.

         See you next time on MATH MINUTE!  (theme music fades out here).
