~~There is an art to the construction of the perfect labyrinth.
Clearly, there are some well established guidelines that are worth following.
At the same time however, it is important to recognise that for true security, a less familiar element needs to be incorporated.
This trial will provide you with the basis for a labyrinth layout that is grounded in mathematics. The cells of the grid bellow each hold a number from 1 to 14. In any given row or column, some numbers may be duplicated. Your challenge is to block out duplicates so that no number is repeated in any single line, horizontal or vertical.
In addition to that, you need to ensure that no two blocked cells are in horizontal or vertical contact with each other. it is also necessary to make certain that you can get from any unblocked cell to all others, moving orthogonally, without having to cross a blocked cell.
