\n" ); document.write( "You know what digits are, don't you?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are only four two-digit numbers whose digits add up to 15. Here
\n" ); document.write( "are three of them.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. 69 has digits 6 and 9 and 6+9 = 15, and it's less than 85, but it won't do because 69 is odd.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. 96 has digits 9 and 6 and 9+6 = 15, and it's even, but it won't do because
\n" ); document.write( "its greater than 85.\r

\n" ); document.write( "only one more integer whose digits add up to 15, and it's even, and it's
