Enigma 1441 - The missing link
New Scientist magazine, 5 May 2007.
by Susan Denham.

I sent in the Enigma below, and it was
accepted for publication.

Unfortunately in the meantime the digit that
should have been printed in the shaded
square [original shading replaced with a
"?"] has become smudged and is illegible.
However, that should not stop you doing the
puzzle. Please send in the intended answer
to the original puzzle.


I have a feeling this implies that we have to find a digit for the ? such that there is only one valid solution....


If so, then it cannot be 1 as both my and jimmy's solution has 1 in there and they are different.

I try to find a solution that doesn't have 1 in that square.
