Take a look at the puzzle below:

An individual wrote, "Does the question ask for the two numbers to equal 100? It only said there are 100 houses in the neighborhood. I would have answered 35 and 53 ( I suspect there would be more combinations)."

Another Instagram user, Barb Mazza Williams, said, "I thought 08 and 80, but I see that's not right."

"I was thinking addresses, not which numbered house 1 to 100, so to me, the possibilities were endless!" commented user Patty Owens.

A fourth posted, "91 and 19? Not a math wizard, just used a calculator working back from 100 and that's the only numbers that worked!"
