I love doing puzzles --- Sudoku, the harder the better AND I've recently been participating in a weekly math puzzle. I went online to find one similar to the ones I've be doing and found this one I thought I'd share, have fun!

Here are your clues:

1. I am a 4 digit number.

2. Two of my digits are odd numbers less than 9.

3. My tens digit is even and is 3 less than my greatest odd digit.

4. My hundreds digit is the sum of my thousands digit and my ones digit.

5. My tens digit is twice my ones digit.

6. The sum of my 4 digits is twice the sum of the tens and the thousands digit.

What number am I?

That's the number I have too Theresa but it's so cool that Charlene's is right too!

How interesting that two answers work.

yes, I got 5742 as well.

Sherry Lynn, I really like Killer Sudoku puzzles. I have to order the booklets occasionally from England; they're hard to find around here.
