On April 14 this year our Puzzler was based on a series of 27 digits, comprising three complete sets of the nine numbers 1 to 9, and set out in such a way that exactly n digits lie between each adjacent pair of n-value digits. To make up the problem, only the three 8s were identified at the outset.

Crowthorne reader Jim Moyles has been studying this series and suggest an analogous Puzzler: Take a slighly larger series of 30 numbers, comprising three complete sets of the 10 numbers 1 to 10, and lay them out such that exactly n digits lie between each adjacent pair of n-value digits.

Here is the line of digits with just the positions of the 10s shown (as three Ts) to give you a start:
