I saw this teaser differently. I subtracted 81 from 100 and got 19. I then did the same with 64 and 81 and got 17. I noticed a difference of two between the numbers. I then tried subtracting 15 from 64 and to no surprise, I got 49. Figuring this must be the pattern, I subtracted 13 from 49 which gave me 36.
Good one. I must admit it took much longer the way I did it, but it was nontheless relatively easy.
