    • Round 207 - cross numbers!

      Also quick and easyish, so I'm sure no trouble for the "experts" either.



      No zeros occur in this puzzle.

      Across:
      A: The digit sum of A across equals E across plus the product of E across's digits.
      C: A palindrome
      E: A palindrome and prime number
      G: G across divided by M down is a cubic number.
      H: A prime number
      I: This prime number equals the sum of J down and C down.
      K: A palindrome
      L: L across divided by J down is a square number.
      N: F down divided by N across is a palindrome.
      O: This palindrome is a multiple of E across.

      Down:
      B: A palindrome
      C: Divide G down by G across and calculate the square root of the result, and you get a divisor of C down.
      D: A multiple of E across
      E: I across + F down
      F: A cubic number
      G: A multiple of G across
      J: C down - 1
      M: The product of the digits of M down equals A across.

      Have fun

        21 is correct! A triangle of 6 rows of reds, with the bottom of each of the 3 corner balls lying on the corners of the triangle drawn on the bed of the table.

        Congratulations dantuck!

              K: the digit sum of G down multiplied with a prime number
              L: half the digit sum of L down
              M: this multiple of T across is greater than C down
              N: a multiple of T across
              O: greater than the reverse of T down
              P: a multiple of R across
              Q: another multiple of R across
              R: a divisor of P across
              S: a multiple of J across
              T: the digit sum of R across
              U: a multiple of T across
              V: K across multiplied by the prime number mentioned in the clue for K across

              DOWN
              A: the reverse of N across
              B: a multiple of P across
              C: a palindrome
              D: the third power of I across
              E: Not a multiple of the digit sum of V across
              F: a cubic number
              G: the third power of K across
              L: Rainer Typke's year of birth
              N: the difference of the first two digits equals the difference of the last two digits.
              O: a multiple of K across
              P: not a multiple of T down
              T: the reverse is less than O across

                    • Is there any snooker in it? Otherwise, I will pass!

                      Comment


                      • just imagine every number as an array of snookerballs (choice of colour even)!
                        So no excuse for passing this over

                                lol, that's the spirit Dan!

                                I just remembered, a helpful little thing, you can let excel do for you, is calculating the digital sums, like:
                                =SUMPRODUCT(--MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:" & LEN(A1))),1))

                                ...and I have been asked about Rainer Typke's year of birth. Well I googled his CV and he did his matriculation exams (Abitur) in 1992.
