GOD DAMN!! That's crazy. And I can't figure out the mathematical principle behind it at all!!!

Obviously a formula. Just dunno what it is hehe.

hmm... instead of thinking a formula i'd do an iterative try-out...
you just gotta find out 1 digit anyway

which is pretty fast on computers

fun nonetheless!!

pfftt... this is retarded. division properties of natual numbers, anyone?

1st. the subtraction of two natural numbers that are composed of the same digits but in different order ALWAYS yields a number that is aliquot to 9.

2nd. a natural number is divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9 (that is, it's a multiple of 9)

[for example, 10347428372867454356401527 is divisible by 9 because 1+0+3+4+7+4+2+8+3+7+2+8+6+7+4+5+4+3+5+6+4+0+1+5+2+7=108 is divisible by 9 as well]

so if, at the end, u have a 3-digit number, and u give away 2 digits, it doesn't take a whole genius to figure out what the third digit is

example`

6387 <-- random number

jumble up --> 8763

8763-6387=2376 <-- subtract

circle any digit --> 3 for example

we have 2376=abcd <-- a+b+c+d=9p

u give away 2,7 and 6 in any order (u circled out 3, remember?)

therefore --> 6+2+7+b=9p <=> 15+b=9p

now, p is a natural number, b is a digit, ie b < 10, therefore in order for (15+b)/9 to be a whole number, b HAS to be 3
