HERE'S HOW TO WORK THE PUZZLE In the puzzle diagram at the right, there are 49 numbers. (Each group of 2 figures represents a number, thus 52 is a niunber.) To solve the problem, just draw a path connecting 12 numbers so that they will add up to a total of exactly 300 pwsints. (See example solution above.) Your path must be ONE CONTINUOUS CHAIN OF NUMBERS but you roay turn as often as you wish. The path MUST start with the number 23 located in the second row and must proceed either to the right or down. From the starting number 23, you must go in one direction for three, four or five numbers, when you must then turn in another direction. LESS THAN 3 NUMBERS OR MORE THAN 5 NUMBERS IN A STRAIGHT LINE ARE NOT PERMITTED. Add the comer numbers only once. Your path must not cross or touch another part of your path. It is suggested you black out all the numbers not used in your path, thus leaving the la numbers all in white, as shown in the sample solution. Contest closes March 31st, 1952.
