Clue 1 each digit increases by one. Example 45,678.
Clue 2 if you add all six numbers, the answer is 20 .
:
let x = the lowest number
then: (x+1), (x+2), (x+3), (x+4) are next 4 number
:
They add up to 20
x + (x+1), (x+2), (x+3), (x+4) = 20
5x + 10 = 20
5x = 20 - 10
x = 10%2F5
x = 2 is the lowest number

The 5 digit number, 23456 (you couldn't do this with a 6 digit number)
