How to beat Str8ts –<br />

Like Sudoku, no single number can<br />

repeat in any row or column. But...<br />

rows and columns are divided by black<br />

squares into compartments. These<br />

need to be filled in with numbers that<br />

complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set<br />

of numbers with no gaps but can be in<br />

any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black<br />

cells remove that number as an option<br />

in that row and column, and are not part<br />

of any straight. Glance at the solution to<br />

see how ‘straights’ are formed.<br />
