The Sabbath Day




            Can you find the largest possible number containing any 9 of the 10 digits, considering 0 also as a number that is divisible by 11, without a remainder?

Answer:    From the Jews abode the Christian and the Turk set out on a tour round the world, the Christian going due east and the Turk due west. This way the Christian gains a day and the Turk loses a day. So that when they meet again at the house of the Jew their reckoning will agree with his and all three may keep their Sabbath on the same day.
