(1)   First,  turn each digit upside down.

(2)   Next,  in each two-digit number,  obtained this way, reverse digits.

(3)   Finally,  read the obtained sequence and guess the missed number.


                        It is  87.


With this number,  87,  make inverse transformations.


                        E N J O Y  ( ! )


This puzzle is as old as Arabic numerals,  perhaps . . .

The second number in your sequence, namely the number 6, is presented incorrectly :
it breaks the hidden logic of the puzzle . . .


It is typical at this forum :   I rarely see a correctly written post here . . .

When I see a correctly presented problem,  it is like a fiesta for me. . .
