Game 10
Discovering the Desired Outcome through Quotients!
Imagine that You and your friend, Probability, are playing this game together. Ask him to secretly choose two numbers – one single-digit and one two-digits. Now he needs to perform the following steps in succession.
| Sl. No. | Steps to follow | Example |
| 1 | Write his single-digit number. Let it be N1 | N1 = 7 |
| 2 | Next, multiply that number by 5. | 7 × 5 = 35 |
| 3 | Add 5 to the answer. | 35 + 5 = 40 |
| 4 | Multiply that result by 10. | 40 × 10 = 400 |
| 5 | Add 20 to the total. | 400 + 20 = 420 |
| 6 | Multiply that result by 2. | 420 × 5 = 840 |
| 7 | Subtract 8 from that answer. | 840 – 8 = 832 |
| 8 | Write his single-digit number. Let it be N2 | N2 = 17 |
| 9 | Add his two-digit number to that result obtained in step 7. | 832 + 17 = 849 |
| 10 | Finally, subtract 132 from the result. This result will be like N1N2. | 849 – 132 = 7 17 |
An exception. When you subtract 132 and obtain only two digits, Normal must have chosen 0 for the single-digit number.
This is a mathematical game that you can play with your friend Normal several times. The final answer always ends up being the concatenation of two numbers: a single-digit and a two-digit number.
