The following VB program found 2 solutions in zero-elapsed time:

M = A = 0 and
M = 8, A = 9

For A = 0 To 9
    For M = 0 To 9
        If M * 10 + 2 * A = A * 10 + M Then
            Debug.Print M, A
        End If
    Next M
Next A
I don't agree with Penny when he/she wrote: This one was even easier than "The Conversing Club 3" !!! 
This was more difficult, it needed a computer to solve it!
