(1) ones digit 2 less than tens digit
(2) tens digit 2 less than hundreds digit
(3) all digits even

Those three requirements together leave only three possible answers: 420, 642, and 864.

Only one of those -- 864 -- satisfies the condition that the product of two of its digits is 32.

And it satisfies all of the other requirements....

ANSWER: 864
