Increasing top-left and bottom-right by 1 will increase the final result by 22 because top-left is the tens digit for both its sums, and bottom-right is the units digit for both its sums. Therefore increases both by one will increase it by (10 x 2) + (1 x 2), which is 22. Decreasing top-right and bottom-left by 1 will decrease the final result by 22. This is because both top-right and bottom-left are the units of one of it's sum and the tens of the other. Decreasing the top-right and bottom-left will each decrease the final result by 11 and so both will decrease it by 22. In this logic, by increasing top-left and bottom-right, and decreasing top-right and bottom-left will increase the result by 22 and decrease it by 22, thus cancelling each other out and leaving the answer of 200 the same, despite changing the numbers.
