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.

The required value of N is 661.

For an explanation, refer to the analytical solution submitted by Steve Herman in this location.

Larry has stated a slight generalisation to this problem, that it works for any concatenation of 6s follow by a single 1 in this location.
