I heard about this puzzle in Maths Club (don't worry, I don't already know the answer :P ). Apparently it only works for certain grid sizes - 4, 6, 8 and 10, or something like that. I know it doesn't work for 2 (in fact it's damn obvious), and I don't think it works for odd numbers... :D

Programming should be fun. That's why I hate C and C++.

It was a foodnote in my cursus of algebra.
(and if it's possible has nothing to do with beeing odd or not)
You really wil hate me when i tell you the answer.
good luck with it.
(but if i were you i would ask some help from some other geniouses that hang around here somewhere)

bdavis:it works for some odd values
eg 3
=> 1,2,3 & A,B,C
code:
1A 2B 3C
2C 3A 1B
3B 1C 2A

keep trying

Yeah, I realised that after I posted that message :P I was just trying to suck up by saying I'd heard of the problem :D
