Number Trick


    Do the following:
  1. Write down a 3 digit number so that the first and third digits differ by more than one.
  2. Now reverse the digits to form a second number.
  3. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one.
  4. Now reverse the digits in the answer you got in step 3 and add it to that number.
  5. Multiply by one million.
  6. Subtract 733,361,573.
    7. Then, under each of the digits in your answer, write the letter which corresponds to it using the following table:
    • 0 --> Y
    • 1 --> M
    • 2 --> P
    • 3 --> L
    • 4 --> R
    • 5 --> O
    • 6 --> F
    • 7 --> A
    • 8 --> I
    • 9 --> B
  8. Now read your message backward.
