Initial Setter Difficulty: 2.5-3 / 5
Hint to start
Consider the 9 sum in Row 2, where can those digits be placed in Row 1? Happy 5s are always welcome too!
Visual Example:-
Where A and B are the first two digits in that row or column.
- e.g. A = 5 and B = 7
-
The nearest clue is the sum of A and B in that row or column.
- 5 + 7 = 12
-
The farthest clue is the sum of the Ath and Bth digits in that row or column.
- With A = 5 and B = 7, we look at the 5th and 7th digits
- The 5th digit is 6 and the 7th digit is 1, so 6 + 1 = 7
