3188 - Christmas spies at work


You're not doing anything for the next few or so hours are you? Here's a Christmas card that requires a little work. It's from the UK's Government Communications Headquarters. It's their spy agency. Here's the card...


The numbers on the side of the grid indicate how many consecutive black squares there will be in each row or column. There has to be one or more white square between each run of one or more black squares.

In their press release, GCHQ explained: “For example, a label "2 1 6" indicates sets of two, one and six black squares, each of which will have one or more white square separating them.”

To start, color in the squares where there’s only one possible pattern where the black squares fit (there’s a few of them)(H22, V7).

And no I haven't started on this yet. But I have printed it out. It's sitting right beside me. Ready and waiting to go.

Oh my heavens, Mike....I just don't have the time at the moment. Maybe I'll print it out and struggle with it when the tv is on later.
