Last Monday we had a nice easy one to start the week – this one will make you think a little harder, but that’s where this review can help. Don’t forget that clicking on the links reveals supplementary information, some useful and some frivolous.

Doing this blog every day is a much bigger task than I imagined when I took it on. Fortunately, I have had offers of help from fellow solvers, this being the first. A blog is a very personal thing, and it was with considerable trepidation that I agreed to accept outside help, but that was before Gazza’s contribution arrived. I knew as soon as I read the first hint that I had not made a mistake, and I hope that you all agree with me. Please let both of us know, via the comments below, what you think. BD
