Erased number puzzle (Posted on 2025-04-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The numbers 1/1, 1/2, ....., 1/2010 are written on a blackboard. A student chooses any two of the numbers, say x, y, erases them, and then writes down xy+x+y.

He continues to do this until only one number is left on the blackboard. What is that number?
