Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $88$

- If you arrange the nine digits in three numbers thus, $147$, $258$, $369$,
- they have a common difference of $111$ and are therefore in arithmetic progression.
- Can you find $4$ ways of rearranging the $9$ digits so that in each case the number shall have a common difference,
- and the middle number be in every case the same?
