LET'S PLAY WITH 736 THE LITTLE NUMBER
Arrange in ascending order: 367 to obtain THE LITTLE JUMBLED NUMBER
Now add THE BIG JUMBLED NUMBER 6913993257
to THE LITTLE JUMBLED NUMBER 367
to obtain 6913993624
Finally arrange the digits in ascending order: 1233466999
Assuming the above birthdate was unknown to you, and you have no information other than the number 1233466999, and the jumbling steps used above to derive it, please show how you can work backwards from this number to reveal
all the above numbers including the birthdate 25/8/92 (Day/Month/Year).
The Timestables, and can be achieved by a child with pencil, paper and a calculator, not complicated mathematics.
I am grateful to Dr Jeremiah from Drexel University Math Forum for his amazing response of 597 pages to this problem, but remember a child can solve this problem with pencil, paper and a calculator. No computer calculation is required.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEE PROBLEM IS REALLY ABOUT?
THE LITTLE BEE IS MISSING IN QUEENSLAND AND IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
for The Little Bee, that's The Number Six, who is missing in Queensland and is nowhere to be found.
The story is about 363. The Two Bad Threes took The Little Bee (6) away leaving Nothing behind, 303.

Enter 26852335 in your calculator and turn upside down. Can you SEE25892?
Let's look at 25/8/92. Notice 25+8 = 33 and 9+2 = 11, and 33x11= 363
THE LITTLE BEE
3 6 3
Let's play with the three separate numbers in 25/8/92:
Multiply them together like so: 25 x 8 x 92 to obtain 18400 THE BIG NUMBER
Multiply month by year 8 x 92 to obtain 736 THE LITTLE NUMBER
LET'S PLAY WITH 18400 THE BIG NUMBER
Add to itself backwards: 18400 + 00481
Notice the palindromatic answer: 18881 Now let's make another
pattern, an anagram of 18400: 00148 the digits to be in ascending order.
Now add together to obtain: 19029 Now let's continue playing. Multiply
by itself backwards: 19029 x 92091
to obtain the number: 1752399639 Now do the Numbo Jumbo:
Jumble into any order e.g. 6913993257 to obtain THE BIG JUMBLED NUMBER
