You can't stop the power of mildy difficult maths puzzles

Muahaha! Find a number than you can reverse and then use to add to the original, obtaining exactly 143. E.g. 17+71=88. There are two of them. I suppose you could define it as (10x+y)+(10y+x)=143. But that wouldn't really work because x and y are part of an integer. Plus it would fail for 3 digit numbers. Anyway, crack on with it. Winner gets a prize!* *if you class my respect as a prize

SONORK ID 100.10024Is thinking aloud, allowed ? 143/2 = 71.5 so 143 = 71 + 72 and we know 143 = 11 * 13 so we have two options 1). 71 - 11 and 72 + 11 2.) 71 - 13 and 72 + 13 so 60 + 83 or 58 + 85 :-) 58 + 85 :-) [edit] 94 and 49 as well [/edit] Regardz Colin J Davies

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

I forgot to add that resident maths guru Colin Davies is not allowed to answer. But yeah, you got it. :P

67 + 76 = 143 That makes it three of them! Have more puzzles? :)
