To solve this riddle, we need to find a two-digit number that fits the given condition. Let's break it down step by step:
1. "Double my tens digit to get my ones digit." This means that the tens digit must be half of the ones digit. Since we're dealing with a two-digit number, the tens digit can only be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (as doubling any of these digits will result in a ones digit within the range of 0-9).
2. "Double me, and I am less than 50." This implies that the original number, when multiplied by 2, should be less than 50. Let's check the possibilities:
- If the tens digit is 0 (e.g., 01), then doubling it (0 x 2) does not exceed 50.
- If the tens digit is 1 (e.g., 11), then doubling it (1 x 2 = 2) is less than 50.
- If the tens digit is 2 (e.g., 22), then doubling it (2 x 2 = 4) is less than 50.
- If the tens digit is 3 (e.g., 33), then doubling it (3 x 2 = 6) is less than 50.
- If the tens digit is 4 (e.g., 44), then doubling it (4 x 2 = 8) is less than 50.
Therefore, we have found multiple possibilities: 01, 11, 22, 33, and 44. Each of these numbers satisfies both conditions presented in the riddle.
