I have 2 digits.
I am more than 70 but less than 80. 
All the natural numbers that are more than 70 but less than 80 
have 7 as their tens digit.

The digits have a sum of 12.
The only ones digit that would add to that 7 to give 12 is a 5. So the
answer is 75.

The number in my ones place is a 5. both of my digits are odd. 
We didn't need either of those two pieces of information to know the
answer is 75.
