I am a three-digit number. My tens digit is five more than my ones digit.
Updated: 11-Apr-2025

Let’s assume the number is XYZ (hundreds = X, tens = Y, ones = Z). If Y = Z + 5, and X = Z × 2, try Z = 1. Then Y = 6 and X = 2 → Number: 261. All conditions match.

This riddle trains basic arithmetic and logical substitution with number place values.
