this kid at school did a trick and i want to know how he did it, i knew but now i forgot. what he did was take a book, im sure he looked at it... but he wrote something down on a piece of paper and folded it up and gave it to another friend and told him not to open it. gave the book to another friend and told Him not to open it, so then he has both friends choose i think a three digit number each. he takes the numbers and does some math with it. what is the math? somehow, no matter what three digit numbers you choose, he does some math and eventually comes up with the number 1089, its eaither that or 1098 pretty sure its 1089 tho. so he goes to the 10th page in the book. the 8th row down and the 9th word in the row. then he shows us the word in the book and has us open the paper and what do you know, there on the paper that he wrote on earlier is the word in the book. but what math does he do to get the number 1089? please and thanks....

  1. Write down any three-digit number whose digits are decreasing. Then reverse the digits to create a new number, and subtract this number from the original number. With the resulting number, add it to the reverse of itself. The number you will get is 1089!
