Incidentally, I went through it twice, second time (again following the instructions correctly) it guessed wrong

Try this then.

The number 9 has interesting properties. I learned one ages ago. The resultant maths answer will be 1089.

Note I have given you the answer before you choose.

Pick a 3 digit number but the last number has to be smaller than the first!

eg 321 or 953 or 910 and etc.....

If we then reverse these numbers 321-123 = 198

now subtract the smaller number from the larger.

then reverse 198 to be 891 and add. 198 + 891

The answer will be 1089.

You may use zero in your three digits.

The last number has to be smaller than the first so you can subtract without having a negative number after reversing your choice.

Ever noticed that 1 x 9 = 9, 2 x 9 = 18 and if we add the 1 and 8 from 18 we get 9 again? 3 x 9 = 27. Then we add the 2 and 7 and get?

1/7 = 0.142857142857 etc. Be as pedantic as you wish here.
try 2/7.
then 3/7
etc.
Notice any pattern here?
(By the way, stick to using decimals, the result using fractions is not particularly fascinating.)

Thank you for your post.

May I only use 9 at Xmas, Easter or my birthday. How many decimal places would you like? 1/7 would give non recurring numbers.

May I ask how much will it cost me to buy a 7 if a 9 is worth $1,000,000?

606571 2007-10-30 10:52:00 Note to self-Pick on Stu for next 6 months, or until he bursts into tears.

2nd note to self- Ask Greg what exactly "it" is, Because I just found something, and it might be my "it" but I'm not sure. It looks like an it.

3rd note to self-Mock Greg for being a big girls blouse and for wearing floral printed pants. Though commend him for coming out of the closet, It was a brave move. Still a bit of a sick lifestyle though.

4th note to self-Muhahahahahahahahahaha
