11*11 = 121 -> sum of digits = 4 22*22 = 484 -> sum of digits = 16 10*10 = 100 -> sum of digits = 1

1 Reason is like that? 11*11=4 means (1+1)*(1+1)=4 22*22=16 means (2+2)*(2+2)=16 so 10*10=(1+0)*(1+0)=1. :)

Smart thinking! I saw it differently, but I don't know if it would have applied for all cases: 11*11 -> (1+1)*(1+1) -> 2*2 = 4 22*22 -> (2+2)*(2+2) -> 4*4 = 16 10*10 -> (1+0)*(1+0) -> 1*1 = 1

You've got the first two wrong and you want me to solve the third one for you?

10*10=(1+0)*(1+1)=1.

should that be (1+0)*(1+0) = 1, as I'm pretty sure (1+0)*(1+1) gives 1*2 = 2 or am I missing something?

I'm sorry, my responses are limited. You must ask the right questions.

My thought exactly, there must be dozens of possible answers, and without further information we can just regard all of them as correct.

No solution. Programmatically, the computer should detect that the second character in 10 is not the same as the first and thereby fails the pattern that you had previously established. Ergo, aa*aa is the only established pattern here.
