arnezami, the code for this card is at http://www.kalva.demon.co.uk/pc-cards/card231.c. I wrote it as a command line utility to run on OS X, to avoid cluttering it up with windowing or other input/output code. The general way in to my PC stuff is http://www.kalva.demon.co.uk/perplexCityCards.html

Could someone please tell me if once the squares have been arranged correctly does the grid stay the same shape as it is on the card?

Hi guys, you've all done some excellent work here and on other cards, but seem to be having some problems with entering this answer. I've checked the file on here, plus rearranged the squares as advised previously in the thread.

I'm avoiding looking at your solution, or anything else in this thread, as this is the first silver I've gotten and I'm excited about taking a few days to solve it on my own.

HOWEVER, I will mention two things:
1) I, and others, have been having difficulty getting solves accepted by the MC site. I've e-mailed them about it, but you might as well, listing the card and your solve (in case you really are wrong).
2) The card has errata, and though I don't have it memorized, I'm sure you can find it online. Make sure you've taken that into consideration.

thanks for the replies guys, I subsequently discovered similar problems with other cards and emailed MC. No reply as yet, but I expect they're busy at the moment Smile
