I always knew I could see the future! It's 808. |
I just did this in less than a minute. I wasn't even trying, sorry DG. |
Lennon's number 9 connection: John Lennon was born on 9 October 1940, his son Sean was also born 9 October, 1975. He wrote the songs #9 Dream (part of Lennon's ninth solo album Walls and Bridges which was released in the ninth month of 1974 and peaked at number 9 in the US charts) and with the Beatles - One After 909 and Revolution 9. |
Easy peasy. |
Even I managed |
The first column made completion very easy. |
Yes, very easy. Tim, there's only one possible combination for the first column, anyway. Locking it down just removes the unnecessary step for you to decide where to put each number. |
Surely there must be at least six solutions. Lets assume that a solution is: a b c d e f g h i where a-i represent the appropriate solutions. Then since the rows all add up to nine d e f a b c g h i is also a solution In all the first row can have three solutions leaving two further possible choices for the second row and the third row is whats left. |
I reckon there are two solutions. I also reckon Pedantic of Purley has missed a constraint or two. |
Woo hoo!! This is the first time I've ever managed to do one! :o |
Erm, ah, yes, OK - there are still two solutions. Maybe that's why everybody found it so easy. |
I suppose it would have helped if I actually decided to do the problem rather that look at it in an abstract way. Then I could have seen that the left hand column is in fact fixed and what I wrote before was a load of rubbish (so nothing new there then I can almost hear you saying). |
