OT - Another prime square puzzle
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? |
I think I have one with 9 and I can't figure out a way to get more:
7 6 9 5 4 8 1 2 3 |
Hmm, I see a problem with your grid - the number 2.
None of 642 246 123 321 are prime... Each number has to be used at least once in a 3-digit prime, sorry if the instructions are confusing.... |
Damn it, I thought I finally got one of these stinkin puzzles.
