90.--THE CENTURY PUZZLE.

Can you write 100 in the form of a mixed number, using all the nine

digits once, and only once? The late distinguished French mathematician,

Edouard Lucas, found seven different ways of doing it, and expressed his

doubts as to there being any other ways. As a matter of fact there are

just eleven ways and no more. Here is one of them, 91+5742/638. Nine of

the other ways have similarly two figures in the integral part of the

number, but the eleventh expression has only one figure there. Can the

reader find this last form?
