A messy kid wrote a multiplication problem.
Alice saw: 100x6 Josh saw: 101×6 Dan saw: 102×9
Each one only misread one digit. What is the answer to the real problem?
All the three observations have common first 2 digits in the first number. The third digit of the first number and the second number is the only variance among the observations. This means
__0 × 6 __1 × 6 __2 × 9 are the ones we're needed to focus on. Since 6 is repeated twice here it has to be correct making 0 in the first and 1 in the 2nd observation wrong. This means 9 in the 3rd observation is wrong and 2 is right.
Therefore the correct answer is 102 × 6 = 612.
