This week's challenge: arrange the numbers 1 to 9 in a 3x3 matrix. Reading the matrix in any direction as 3-digit numbers (i.e. up/down, right/left or in either direction on the main diagonals), each of the numbers 1 to 9 must be used at least once in a 3-digit prime number.
Your score is the total number of 3-digit prime numbers in your 3x3 matrix. (There are 16 possible 3 digit numbers, but for obvious reasons, a score of 16 is impossible).
My best score so far is 8 - can you do better?
