200 OUR CHIMNEY CORNER. NO. 242. —ILLUSTRATED REBUS. N0. 243. — PRIZE ARITHMETICAL PUZZLE. The digits of a number —as most of our readers know —are the numbers composing the same ; thus, 7,6, 3 are the digits of 763, and the addition of these would be as follows : 7x6x3=16, and then 1 and 6 are 7. Now, what number is that which if multiplied by itself, or any other number, and the digits of the result be added together until a single figure is produced, will always give the half of itself? We are authorized to present a year’s subscrip tion to Burke’s Weekly to the one who first sends in a correct answer to the above, with a satisfac tory reason for the fact. NO. 244. — ENIGMA.
