  • @WayToBeADouche 2111-1112=0999, 9990-0999=8991, 9981-1899=8082, 8820-0288=8532, 8532-2358 = 6174 :)

  • Do the number 2,111. It doesn't work.

  • @tacoyum6 I was just thinking the exact same thing

  • @starofcctv94 what's wrong with foolscap?

  • @fintty1 do it with 8352 again. There you go: 6174 ;)

  • @Unforgiver13 it does work :)

  • wait i did forget it

  • i tried it with 1234 and it did not 6174, it came out to 3087 than 8352

  • @Steelernation2323 Just like you wrote 1 as 0001, write 999 as 0999. Then you get 9990-0999=8991. 9981-1899=8082. 8820-0288=8532. 8532-2358=6174.

  • What if you do the number 1000

    1000-0001=999, then 999 is not a 4-digit number
