May 26, 2020 at 18:14 comment added smci @trolley813 and everyone: I wasn't getting hung up on the precise statement, but yeah the spirit is to exclude genuinely totally trivial solutions.
May 26, 2020 at 15:03 comment added trolley813 @BioPhysicist I think that the ">0" condition is to avoid loopholes. Since, for example, you can swap the Es in THREE to get another 3 from 3. But here it is unacceptable since 3-3=0.

May 15, 2020 at 14:32 comment added BioPhysicist True. And I guess it is a little different now that I think about it. The question is "what is the smallest number that has an anagram that is a number smaller than itself"
May 15, 2020 at 14:29 comment added smci @AaronStevens, I suppose, but I wanted to keep the phrasing of the 'Ask Grandpa' original, so that English answers would be portable.
May 15, 2020 at 14:11 comment added BioPhysicist Isn't the $>0$ condition irrelevant? Since if $x-y<0$ then $y-x>0$. So really isn't this puzzle just "What is the smallest number that has an anagram that is also a number"?

May 14, 2020 at 18:09 comment added smci No-computers suggested, but I think this is a more interestiing non-trivial '99 Bottles of Beer' challenge if you do do it by computer.
