Single Curio View: (Seek other curios for this number)
Choose two 2-digit numbers of the form n and n+4 from
different decades (for our purpose two 2-digit numbers are
from different decades if their leftmost digits are not
equal). Now reverse the digits of these two numbers and
subtract the smaller from the larger. The result is always
59. Examples: 29 and 33 becomes 92 - 33 = 59, 57 and 61
becomes 75 - 16 = 59. [Green]
