I have the answer but I want more than a paltry million for it. Bidenomics you know…

Here’s a party trick called Kaprekar’s Constant

Start with any four digit number. To ease the process avoid zeros and duplicate digits to start but it’ll still work.

Rearrange the digits in descending order. Then rearrange the same digits in ascending order. Subtract the second number from the first and repeat. Add a leading zero(s) to any result that’s not four digits.

Keep up the process until you arrive at 6174. That number repeats forever. It is always the ultimate answer no matter what number you start with.

For example

Take 7256 rearrange as follows

7652
2567 subtract and get

5085 repeat

You’ll always end up with 6174 eventually
