This puzzle is a little harder, but I have included it here for two reasons. One, the python solution can be simple and rely on computer speed to just search all possibilities but a human solution needs to be clever and to cut down the nubmer of possibilites to check. The second reason is that this puzzle was invended by John Conway. John Conway was not only an amazing mathematician but, from all reports, a very decent guy. He died due to coronavirus earlier this year. I encourage you to google him to see some of the things he has done, to start you off have a look at the some of the following
