Mystery Number


Come up with a mystery number larger that 100.  Give us clues to help us figure out your mystery number.  The clues should start general and get more specific as they go.  You must use the divisibility rules of  2, 3, 5 and  10 as one of your clues.  It must be a number that no one else has posted yet.

Example:

My mystery number has three digits. 
It is divisible by 2, 5 and 10 but it is not divisible by 3.
It has odd and even digits.
Two of the digits are the same number.
The sum of all of the numbers is 10.
What is my mystery number?

(You can copy and paste my template above into your post and change the blanks to fit your number or you may create all of your own clues!)

Try to figure out other people's mystery numbers and keep track of them in your math journal.
