1-2-3 Remainder Resolution (Posted on 2016-02-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Abe challenges Bee to determine a 3-digit positive integer N.
It is known that the number formed by the last two digits of N when divided by 9, yields a remainder of 3.

Abe makes the following statements, precisely one of which is false:
  1. N divided separately by each of 2, 4, 6, and 8 yields a remainder of 1.
  2. N divided separately by each of 5 and 7 yields a remainder of 2.
  3. N divided separately by each of 5 and 11 yields a remainder of 3.
Determine the value of N from the above statements and given clues.

 Next

 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf & " done"
