Addition Crossed Number Reversal (Posted on 2023-05-13) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A three digit (non leading zero) positive integer N is such that by adding 3 to N and dividing the result by 4 we obtain the reversal of N.

Determine the value of N.

Note: Computer program solutions are welcome but an analytical solution is preferred.

Some Thoughts a slight generalization Comment 2 of 2 |
Just as this process reverses 661 to 166,
it works for any concatenation of 6s follow by a single 1.
Adding the 3 makes it a little less than (2/3)*10^k, the error is 8/3 of a unit.
Then dividing by 4 makes it it a little less than (1/6)*10^k, the error is 2/3 of a unit.
The first error is 4 times the second error.
