Find this 8 digit number.
The first 4 digits subtract the last 4 digits = 2222. The number subtracted from the number you get when you reverse the order of the digits (ie. 3412 becomes 2143) = 33108867.
Only the digits 1, 2, 3 & 4 are used.

The MCG is a notoriously large cricket ground. Because of its size some folks have decided to have a charity sleep out for Australia’s Grade 7 students, but they’re not sure how many will fit.
How many Grade 7’s could sleep on the MCG oval? Think of 2 options
1) The absolute crazy maximum (with no space to walk)
2) A more realistic option (with pathways to walk).
Record the steps you went through to solve this problem.
