I tried just doing text, but the spacing didn't work, so I just made it into a pic...

Doesn't work on the small one (3x3) though:
CODE

- 1 -
2 - -
- - 3

- 1 4
2 5 -
6 - 3

9 1 2
2 5 7
6 8 3



Edit: It does work, I made a mistake, the last square should be:
CODE
7 1 2
2 5 8
6 9 3

hey bjrn the 7 should be where the 9 is because that is the only open square left on the first row. You just took it to the second row and continued the pattern. The should clear up why it didnt work for you and if it doesnt then oh well your just S.O.L.

Its just something to keep us bored humans busy. there is no true reason behind it its just somethin cool to look at and try to figure out. If you come down to our amazing level then you will be surprised how easily you get amused lol. I tryed putting the 7 in the right spot but it still didnt work so i dont guess it does work for a 3x3 square
