For the patterned puzzles, for example, I typically generate at least 10 puzzles, then pick a single one to include in the book ![[blink]](./images/smilies/msp_blink.gif "Blink") |

I have been trying to solve this on and off for the past few days. I’ve spent loads of time on it and I remain stumped. ![[confused]](./images/smilies/msp_confused.gif "Confused") So I would definitely class it as difficult! ![[scared]](./images/smilies/msp_scared.gif "Scared") Has anyone actually solved it? |

I have been trying to solve this on and off for the past few days. I’ve spent loads of time on it and I remain stumped. So I would definitely class it as difficult! Has anyone actually solved it? Spent another hour or so on it today. Still stumped! I think I must have a blind spot that’s causing this. I’m determined to persevere at this stage, but I would love to know whether anyone has managed to solve it. |
