If you’re given a number, subtract 1, then 2 from the result, then 3 from that result and so on until you reach 0 or a negative number.
For example, if you’re given 15:
15 – 1 = 14
Which of these numbers will finish exactly at zero?
102 103 104 105 106
105
105 – 1 = 104
105
105 – 1 = 104

Given
1 = 5
What does 5 equal?
54325. Rather than being a mathematical solution, the answer is derived by prepending (putting in front of) the value on the left side of the equation with the previous answer. So for 3 you take 25, the previous answer, and put 3 in front, giving you 325. Then you put 4 in front to get 4325 and lastly, put 5 in front to get 54325.
