Adam has pointed out to me that there are various solutions to this puzzle. Aargh. The one I had in mind involves exactly one indeterminate. So ex post facto I'll add that condition: Can you solve the puzzle below using only one indeterminate? --Dan On Oct 26, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net> wrote:
