| 1342009 | 2013-05-20 01:40:00 | well if its not in the top left corner of the left box, its in the right hand top corner of the left box. Reason, - its the only other place it can go and BBCmicro says the top left corner is wrong :P | Iantech (16386) | ||

| 1342011 | 2013-05-20 02:01:00 | The match one I know, you just slide one out slightly so the 4 ends form a small square between them all. As for the sudoku, I can see no way to eliminate one of the top two squares without seeing the rest of the puzzle so my anwser is "beside the 4" |

However, in an effort not to embarrass all of you ... I shall wait until someone gets the answer correct, confirm said answer, and declare the winner ... :thumbs: |

| 1342015 | 2013-05-20 03:00:00 | OK here's the answer that Sp8's has in mind ;) Newspapers don't want to be bothered printing more than one answer and insist that there be just one soution. If the 5 were in the third cell, that would put 6 and 9 vertically in both the first and second block. There is no way that the rest of the puzzle, covered up, could sort out whether it's (69, 96) or (96, 69). Therefore there would be two solutions. So the 5 cannot be in the third cell and must be in the first cell. Thanks for the entries. There were no winners and just one loser - me! I still have a 50 kg modem to dispose of ;) And now I have some chores to do................ |
