- PROGRESSIVE SQUARES
Fill in the following numbers in the order given, beginning at the cell in the
top right-hand corner and proceeding downwards and "round the square": 13,
81,78,6,75,8, IS, 16,77,70, 19, 79, 21, 9, 23, 2, 69, 66, 67, 74, 7, 76, 4, 1,5,
80,59,73,61,3,63, 12. It is obvious that opposite numbers in the border must
sum to 82 in all cases, but a correct adjustment of them is not very easy. Of
course there are other solutions.
