Solution solution Comment 1 of 1
answer : 10

Consider the number 20102010...2010729, where  2010 is repeated n times.
The sum of digits on odd- counting from left- places is  3n+16
Ob even the sum is 2

COMPARING MODULO 11:
3n+16=3n+5=2 mod11

3n=8 mod 11
3*10=30  22+8
Since 10 is less than 11 , it is a minimal soluition

21,32,43 etc would work as well
