uffda.
answer is: 65024
literally, done in my head that fast.
no smoke, no mirrors.
however, there was a "trick", two actually.
First, two numbers multipied together that differ by two will give a product
that is 1 less than the square of the number between them.
Second, a number squared that ends in 5 gives a product that ends in 25, and
the other digits are equal to the remaining digit(s) times itself plus one.
Got it?
jeffies wife will explain it if you ask her.
