Some numbers are more equivalent than others
$begingroup$
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
— from
Animal Farm
by George Orwell
A contrived simple
equivalence
rule applies neatly to numbers 0 through 99
but not to any other numbers.
Equivalences of numbers 0 through 19 are listed below,
accounting for almost all other eligible numbers as well,
where ‘=’ means “is equivalent to.”
(Each number is
reflexively
equivalent to itself.)
0 = no others
10 = no others
1 = no others
11 = 29 = 31 = 49 = 51 = 69 = 71 = 89 = 91
2 = no others
12 = 28 = 32 = 48 = 52 = 68 = 72 = 88 = 92
3 = no others
13 = 27 = 33 = 47 = 53 = 67 = 73 = 87 = 93
4 = no others
14 = 26 = 34 = 46 = 54 = 66 = 74 = 86 = 94
5 = no others
15 = 25 = 35 = 45 = 55 = 65 = 75 = 85 = 95
6 = no others
16 = 24 = 36 = 44 = 56 = 64 = 76 = 84 = 96
7 = no others
17 = 23 = 37 = 43 = 57 = 63 = 77 = 83 = 97
8 = no others
18 = 22 = 38 = 42 = 58 = 62 = 78 = 82 = 98
9 = no others
19 = 21 = 39 = 41 = 59 = 61 = 79 = 81 = 99
What would be the entry for 20 in this list?
20 = ___ . . . ?
Please use and explain the simplest possible rule,
not purely mathematical,
that accounts for every equivalence from 0 to 99.

Answer:
20 = no others
Reason: (humn has told me that this is wrong but it's my favorite guess of mine)
Because you gave us a list of equivalences which are more equal than others. So we can assume the remaining numbers are less equal and therefore only equal to themselves.
Other guesses:
Xilpex's rule applies if no digits are zero. If any digit is zero (
2can be written as02) then there are no equivalents
Because the rules are contrived so I can simply invent whatever I want for the rules that aren't given to me.

Delete the tens digit, like follow:

1 = no others 1 = 9 = 1 = 9 = 1 = 9 = 1 = 9 = 1

4 = no others 4 = 6 = 4 = 6 = 4 = 6 = 4 = 6 = 4

8 = no others 8 = 2 = 8 = 2 = 8 = 2 = 8 = 2 = 8
9 = no others 9 = 1 = 9 = 1 = 9 = 1 = 9 = 1 = 9
So there is no rules to 0,
20 = no others

20 would be:
20 = 20 = 40 = 40 = 60 = 60 = 80 = 80 = 100
Explanation:
The rule (vertically) is: Line 1 + 1, then Line 2 - 1, and so on.

Thank you for taking the bait, Xilpex. Not quite the solution, though. For instance, it doesn't explain the entry for 10.

Delete the tens digit, like follow:
