    Default Eazy peazy this one.

    ok this is a number riddle. Pretty simple but thought it would give your brains a rest from the cryptics until next time..

    I have three digits. My second digit is 4 times greater than my third digit and my first digit is 7 times less than my second digit. What 3 digit number am I?

    That was going to be my answer too but thought the "times" meant a multiplier?

    Don't think 'times' after the 7 should be in there, only way it makes sense.

    Tried strikethrough but times doesn't do it?

    I agree, the 2nd digit is 8 times greater than the first.
