Step-by-Step Solution

Moving the 4 from the front to the back turns 481 into 814, and . The property is no accident: , and , so rotating a three-digit multiple of 37 always produces another one. Rotating once more gives . The trap merely REVERSES the digits, a different move that destroys the property. And and are rearrangements of the digits that are not rotations at all.
