Bob Lewis, from Abbey Wood in London, contributes this week's poser. This is a very simple three-deck difference triangle, made up from the consecutive...
This diagram shows how it is possible to distribute the consecutive series 1-to-12 around a hexagon, one number to each node, in such a way that each straight...
Try this neat little problem in your head - it's not as easy as it looks. Your task is to determine which total the third column sums to, by deducing...
The third column is in fact a red herring. It is not needed when finding the three colour-values. For example, examining the first two columns on the left,...
This diagram started life as a magic square containing the consecutive series 1 to 16. All four rows, columns and the two long diagonals each summed to a...
In mathematical parlance, the prime number 113 is said to be permutable because it remains prime regardless of how the digits are arranged, that is 131 and...
Our first problem is solved by 337, which permutes to produce the primes 373 and 733. Secondly, the two factors of 11,111,111,111 are 21,649 and 513,239.
This diagram shows the four corner numbers of a 4x4 magic square. What makes the square remarkable is the fact that not only is a constant of 242 generated...
