Corner Answer \xe2\x80\x93 Timmy's twin brother, Tommy, nearly popped a staple trying to figure this one. Skip the algebra and use logic. Since the number was two times the product of its digits, it had to be an \xe2\x80\x9ceven\xe2\x80\x9d number. The product had to be under 50 since twice that would be a three digit number. Also, the number could not have a zero in it since multiplying by zero equals zero. So our number must be an even two digit number below 50 with no zeroes. There are other tricks that take up too much space. Anyway, from the universe you narrowed you eliminate down to the number 36, which gives you a product of 18, exactly one half its value.Doesn't match Missing info Like question
