| 64. | A 'Harshad number' has been defined as a number which can be divided exactly by the sum of its digits. For example: 1729 is a Harshad number since 1 + 7 + 2 + 9 = 19 and 1729 can be divided exactly by 19.
(Harshad numbers were defined by D R Kaprekar (a mathematician from India) who also gave us |

| 66. | Two planes fly once around the world together. They both fly at a constant distance above the surface of the Earth, one above the other. On completion, one of the planes has travelled two kilometres further than the other. (Assume the Earth is a perfect sphere.)
How far apart (in metres) were the two planes? |
The winner of Competition #21 was Caroline Lines of Cardiff
The answers were:
| 61. | 1/1/01 |
| 62. | 22 + 2 or 3^3 - 3 or 9 x sqrt(9) - sqrt(9) or 4 + 4! - 4 |
| 63. | 1683 different ways. |
