Prize is £40 to spend at Deliveroo

My answer is 2

Not submitting for me at the moment but i'm having a problem submitting on a few sites this morning so might just be me.

Thank you

Not sure this one has an unique answer - couldn't A be either 2 or 3?

The bottom and top rows must be

3 2 4 1

1 3 2 4

but it works which ever is on the top

I don't think it can be 3 as then you would have 2 2s in the bottom column of 4 plus 2 1s in the top left and bottom right column and 2 2s also in top right column

Ok not sure how to explain but split them into 4 boxes of 4 squares so on your bottom set of numbers 1 and 3 from top line and 4 and 1 from second line are your first column of 4. 2 and 4 from top line and 3 and 2 from second line are your second column. Here already you have 2 2s in the second column so that can't work. An easier way to understand it might be put a cross through the middle of your bottom set of numbers. So it is split into 4 lots of 4 numbers. each set of 4 numbers must have 1234 in them. The answer can only possibly be 2.

So what is wrong with my second set of numbers? I don't get a double 2?

You have a double 1 in your first column and 2 is missing so you have 1341. You have a double 2 in your second column and 1 is missing so you have 2432. You have a double 2 in your 3rd column and 1 is missing so you have 2432 and you have a double 1 in your 4th column and 2 is missing so you have 1341.If anyone else does sudoku they will know as this is probably about the easiest sudoku you could get so hopefully they will confirm this.

Hi Moneybot, in addition to each column and row containing numbers 1-4, there are 4 little blocks of 4 squares which should also contain each number from 1 to 4 so the answer has to be
3241
4132
2413
1324

which means the answer has to be 2

It's easily explained as it's a basic 4 square sudoku. The A has to be 2 because of the positioning of the 2 in the bottom right square.

Only easily explained if someone knows basic sudoku and if they did they wouldn't need it explaining in the first place.

One-Eye

You can immediately deduce that A must be 2 without solving much at all.
The column headed by A must contain a 2.
The 2 in the third row means that the two squares with a star can not be 2, so A must be 2
