I would make educated guesses.

? would be a digit that is greater than 0, 1, or 2, since the subtraction operation returns a value greater than 100

anonymous · Answer

the digit wouldn't be bigger than 4 either since the answer would be greater than 200 if

turingtest · Answer

432-279=153
432-289=143
both these fit the pattern so there is no one answer

anonymous · Answer

I thought ? was the same digit. :-P

turingtest · Answer

the first number HAS to be 432, but the rest are subject to possible change.

Ok perfect. thanks you all. I kept getting multiple outcomes and was not sure if choosing one would be ok.

turingtest · Answer

the first digit has to be a four.
the next digit must be >3
the third digit will be whatever the result turns out as based on your choice for the second digit.
