Alright, let’s cut straight through it.<br />
<br />
What’s happening?<br />
They keep picking two numbers and replacing them with (sum − 2). That means:<br />
* Every operation reduces the total sum by exactly 2.<br />
* They start with numbers from 3 to 89, inclusive.<br />
<br />
===== Step 1 — Count how many numbers there are =====<br />
<br />
From 3 to 89:<br />
<br />
89−3+1=87 numbers89 - 3 + 1 = 87 \text{ numbers}89−3+1=87 numbers<br />
To end with one number, they must do:<br />
<br />
87−1=86 operations87 - 1 = 86 \text{ operations}87−1=86 operations<br />
===== Step 2 — Compute the initial sum =====<br />
<br />
Sum of an arithmetic progression:<br />
<br />
S=(3+89)⋅872S = \frac{(3+89)\cdot 87}{2}S=2(3+89)⋅87<br />
=92⋅872=46⋅87=4002= \frac{92 \cdot 87}{2}<br />
= 46 \cdot 87<br />
= 4002=292⋅87=46⋅87=4002<br />
===== Step 3 — Decrease the total sum =====<br />
<br />
Each operation subtracts 2, and there are 86 operations:<br />
<br />
4002−2⋅86=4002−172=38304002 - 2\cdot 86 = 4002 - 172 = 38304002−2⋅86=4002−172=3830<br />
===== Final answer: =====<br />
<br />
3830<br />
<br />
That’s the last number standing.<br />
