Project Euler Problem 145 - slap in the face...

Some positive integers n have the property that the sum [ n + reverse(n) ] consists entirely of odd (decimal) digits. For instance, 36 + 63 = 99 and 409 + 904 = 1313. We will call such numbers reversible; so 36, 63, 409, and 904 are reversible. Leading zeroes are not allowed in either n or reverse(n).

There are 120 reversible numbers below one-thousand.

How many reversible numbers are there below one-billion (10^9)?


Sounds simple? Sure...brute force it. Just like I do. Then go check the other solutions and feel yourself stupid bruteforcer...

This problem can be solved analytically.
