Mr. Sir asked in Science & MathematicsMathematics Β· 1 decade ago

Can you solve this math puzzle?

Imagine the letter "s" to be squares.

- S S

S S S S

- S S

Now the trick is to arrange the numbers 1-8 so that no consecutive numbers touch, either next to each other or corners. Oh and its not a homework assisgnment. Pay no attention to the "-" I just needed a place holder so that the letter s would be arranged to fit the problem.
