Skip navigationWow, number 50! In marriage terms, we have reached our golden anniversary. Lots of hard work, but I am sure you will agree, lots of great rewards too? Anyway, down to business:
Domicile03, Guin
I was happy to help out my cousins, distant though they were, but if they thought they were getting a free vacation, they were sadly mistaken. I’d been trying to get at a particular area of exposed rock to take some measurements and the local wildlife hadn’t been at all cooperative. I could temporarily lure them into large pens, but if I wasn’t careful with their placement, they’d run riot and break out–making it impossible to safely examine the traces of weather.
I had four different types of animal that I needed to contain–Frigatebird, lizard, seal, and tortoise. What figured I needed to do was find a way to make sure no animal shared a quadrant, row, or column with another animal of the same type.
QUESTION: What was Guin’s plan? List the animals by row starting with the top row (be sure to include the animals Guin has already placed).
That’s it for now life partners!

All that needs to happen, is the seal needs to move down one box in its column. Resulting in Frigatebird in the 1st quadrant, row, and column, lizard in the 2nd quadrant, 4th column, and 2nd row, seal in the 3rd quadrant, 2nd column, and third row, and tortoise in the 4th quadrant and row, and 3rd column.

The frigatebird, lizard, and tortoise are already placed correctly. The seal needs to move down one row to the 3rd quadrant.
