Stefano,
I'm been quite pleased with the reception which this puzzle has received,
particularly in the APL newsgroup. You can see a compilation of most of the
solutions at http://members.home.net/js.graham/vierneun.html
Best of luck.
Steve Graham
P.S. Would anyone be interested in another, slightly more complex puzzle???
