My Two numbers:
1. differ by 20
2. add to 20
3. are both between 5 and 15
4. have a 2 in the ones place
5. are both odd
6. are both years before I was born (say the person was born in 1999)
7. both have a 0 in them
8. differ by 100
I'm wondering how your two numbers can (1) differ by 20 and also (8) differ by 100 ?
I don't know. my son (aged 8 in a gifted and talented program) brought this math riddle home.
Apparently, I nor my husband are gifted or talented enough to solve this.
Re: please solve this problem

1. 45 & 65
2. 3 & 17
3. 6 & 14
4. 12 & 32
5. 71 & 93
6. 1756 & 1945
7. 30 & 101
8. 21 & 121
i think the trick is that the clues dont pertain to the same pair of numbers since they are mutually exclusive and there are many answers
That makes sense. Good form.
