The twenty entries form ten pairs of distinct perfect squares:
in each case, the label ( D, I, O … ) lies at the point of intersection and the
clue equals one square minus the other.
Two squares are peculiar.

Um, am I missing something here? Is the letter at an intersection meant to tell us the difference of the two numbers that meet there?
ReplyDeleteIf so, and if N = 39, how can the difference between two numbers ending with the same digit end with anything other than 0?
