Excellent work, Equivalent Erika! You are correct. Can anyone think of another possible answer if we changed the clue to say that it is a two-digit number?
ReplyDeleteI think the aswer is 9. here is how I got that=
ReplyDeleteit said it was lower than 20, so, I thought of all the #s lower than 20. Then it said it was an odd #. Next it said it could be divided by 3.
Finally it said that it was a single didget.
The #9 fits all those clues. 9 is the answer.
