My son, a math genius much smarter than his father, periodically pesters Papa for puzzles. So yesterday I created for him this CrossNumber puzzle, in which the empty squares must be filled with the proper numerals. I'm proud to report that he solved it on his own, with occasional help from Google. (His mother had removed IE and Flock from his PC as a protective measure, but he has since figured out how to RDP into my PC whenever he needs a browser).
