INNER CIRCLE #3 - AUGUST 2002
DIFF COLUMN RESULTS


       There were 48 paid entries to the Diff Column puzzle. There were also 3 entries from people who had subscribed earlier, but did not enclose the $35 entry fee. Those 3 players did not participate in the contest.

       The Diff Column puzzle resulted in a 32-way tie. This would give prize shares of $42.00. Since that is less than $100, a tiebreaker puzzle has been issued.

       Here is one of the various ways that the top score and highest row scores can be achieved.
