    #1: 7 x 11 x 13 = 1001, that should tell you something!

    #2: For sure, I am not stupid… but I don’t tell you the answer

    1) Well, yes, multiplying a three digit number by 1001 is the same as writing that number twice in a row.

    2) Hehe…David told me the answer at a swim meet, but I don’t think I’m allowed to tell the answer either. Hint: What would one want to keep a secret?

    And I came up with another riddle!
    3) What is the lowest trio of three consecutive odd composite numbers you can find?
    (In other words, what three odd numbers in a row are not prime? For example, 3, 5, and 7 fits most of the requirements, except none of them are composite. All three numbers have to be composite.)
