Since you are a power of 3, then you are one of these: 31 = 3 32 = 9 33 = 27 34 = 81 35 = 243 36 = 729 37 = 2187 Since you are greater than 100 and less than 700, then you can only be 243. Yes, you are an odd number, but you didn't need to tell us that. And yes, the sum of your digits is 9, since 2+4+3 = 9, but you didn't need to tell us that either. Edwin
