In number 4 what are we to take the difference between? Do you mean the difference between the original number and its reverse? If so when you add the difference back to the reverse you simply get the original number, which is ambiguous. I am not sure what you are asking us to do here.

@Matthew: Thank you for the prompt response! It makes sense now and perhaps I should have read a little closer!
