There is a three-digit number. The second digit is four times as big as the third digit, while the first digit is three less than the second digit. What is the number?

Just by guessing and checking, if you start off your tries with the digit 1, you'll get the answer right on the first try. 1, multiplied by 4, gets the 4 for the second digit. Then, subtracting 3 from 4 gets you the final 1 in the three-digit number, giving an answer of 141.
