Question
i am a 3 digit number with 3 different digits.all my digits are written with straight lines only. my tens digit is greater than my hundreds digit but less than my ones digit. what number am i?

Answer
Well, let's list the numbers that have only straight lines.

1
4
7


There are only 3 of them as I see it.

So the tens digit is greater than the hundreds digit but less than the ones digit.

So the one's digit is the biggest.  That must be 7.
The next biggest is the tens digit.  That must be the 4.
The smallest is the hundreds digit.  That must be the 1.

Your number is 147.
