1to91to91to9

Postby m_b_metcalf » Sat Sep 12, 2020 8:15 am

Following on from the recent postings with the digits of pi, here's one (not minimal but not trivial) with the digits 1 to 9, thrice, in order:
Code: Select all
 . . . . 1 . 2 3 .
 . . . 4 . . 5 . 6
 . . 7 8 . . . 9 1
 . 2 . . 3 4 . . .
 . 5 . . . . 6 . .
 7 . . . . 8 . . .
 9 1 2 3 . . . . 4
 5 6 . . . 7 8 . .
 . . . . . . . . 9


Regards,

Mike

Nice. :) I retooled my pi script to check for symmetrical versions of this, here's the first non-trivial one (easier than Mike's):

Code: Select all
+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 2 3 | 4 . 5 | 6 7 . |
| 8 . . | . . . | . . . |
| . 9 . | 1 . . | . . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | 2 . . | 3 4 . |
| . . . | . 5 . | . . . |
| . 6 7 | . . 8 | . . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | . . 9 | . 1 . |
| . . . | . . . | . . 2 |
| . 3 4 | 5 . 6 | 7 8 9 |
+-------+-------+-------+
1234.567.8.........9.1........2..34.....5.....67..8........9.1.........2.345.6789


There are plenty of these, and some have each set constrained to a different band; I'll look for some non-trivial ones there to post eventually.
