What to Focus On

  • A number can describe a pattern, not just a quantity.
  • In a line, neighbours mean left and right only.
  • In a table with more than one row, neighbours include left, right, top, and bottom.
  • A supercell is larger than all its adjacent cells.
  • Edge cells may have fewer neighbours.
  • In a multi-row table, up, down, left, and right all count as neighbours.
  • Digit sum is the sum of all digits in a number.
  • Different numbers can have the same digit sum.
  • There are nine 1-digit numbers: 1 to 9.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In a table with more than one row, only left and right cells are neighbours.

A palindromic date and a repeating-digit date are the same thing.
