Some positive integers n have the property that the sum [ n + reverse(n) ]
consists entirely of odd (decimal) digits. For instance, 36 + 63 = 99
and 409 + 904 = 1313
. We will call such numbers reversible; so 36, 63, 409, and 904 are reversible. Leading zeroes are not allowed in either n
or reverse(n)
.
There are 120 reversible numbers below one-thousand.
How many reversible numbers are there below one-billion (109)?
