93.--THE MYSTIC ELEVEN.

Can you find the largest possible number containing any nine of the ten

digits (calling nought a digit) that can be divided by 11 without a

remainder? Can you also find the smallest possible number produced in

the same way that is divisible by 11? Here is an example, where the

digit 5 has been omitted: 896743012. This number contains nine of the

digits and is divisible by 11, but it is neither the largest nor the

smallest number that will work.
