The mystery number is a three-digit number. Its digits are 3, 6, and

2.

• The 6 has a digit on its left and on its right.

• The 2 is not the last digit.

What is the mystery number?

263

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = xyz

The 6 has a digit on its left and on its right. It must be the middle number.

y = 6, so the number is x6z.

The 2 is not the last digit. It must be the first digit.

x = 2, so the number is 26z.

The remaining digit - 3 - must be the last digit.

z = 3, and the number is 263.
