Sides Reversed Is Puzzle
The Puzzle:
Hungry Horace was copying down his Mathematics Homework the other day, but because he was in a rush (he wanted to be first in the dinner queue) he copied it down incorrectly.
They had been learning about multiplying 2 digit numbers, and had five questions to do at home. Horace, however, copied every number down backwards:
Instead of writing 12 x 42 Horace wrote 21 x 24
Instead of writing 12 x 84 Horace wrote 21 x 48
Fortunately for Horace, all his answers were still correct!
What were the other three questions?
