Welcome logiclogic and very well found on page 187 dated December 2005.
It was one of Tryagain's first and only mistakes.
The EGREGIOUSLY ERRONEOUS ONE meant XBYDX.

We have waited too long for the return of Try the Riddler, I therefore proffer for your edification the following...
I have a laundry ticket, and if I were for no discernable reason to tear it in half to make two two-digit numbers and on a whim was to add them together and then unexpectedly square the result; I would unbelievably get my original number!
If I told you the first digit is not zero and if you knew the last digit you would be able to ascertain the full number.
What is the number responsible for this conundrum?
