Listener 4451 Numerical Playfair By Zag

[midazolam]

Typical Zag, original concept. Not my cup of tea (but then numericals aren't), but appreciate the way it was constructed to an unambiguous gridfill.

[pushmi-pullyu]

The only thing I dislike more than playfairs is numericals, so I didn't think I'd even try this. But then I found myself at a loose end this evening and thought I'd give it a go. To my amazement I've completed it, I'm still not quite sure how. And yes, it was quite fun, especially the last two entries.

Yes, Liathach, I think I probably made the same false assumption as you about 3-digit entries when trying to sort out the top left-hand region. I admit that I resorted to a trial-and-error process there, and I'm looking forward to kicking myself when the setter's blog tells me that simple logic would have got me through!
