. We're sorry about the hassle.
Write m = 1 0 0 N + 1 0 d 1 0 + d 1 where N = ⌊ 1 0 0 m ⌋ and 0 ≤ d 1 0 , d 1 ≤ 9 are the tens and ones digits, respectively, of m . The rest of the proof will follow by several smaller arguments, so I'll number them to keep them separate and organized.
Finally, for this value of m , we have S ( m ) = 1 1 ⋅ 1 + 6 + 3 + 7 + 9 = 3 6 S ( m + 2 ) = 1 1 ⋅ 1 + 6 + 3 + 8 + 1 = 2 9 giving S ( m ) + S ( m + 2 ) = 3 6 + 2 9 = 6 5
