Question

In the game of Mathematical Hangman

one player makes up an arithmetic

problem which the other player tries

to solve by asking whether certain

digits occur in the various rows and

columns. If the digit does not

appear in the announced row or

column, a part of the body is placed

on the gallows. In a particular

game one player made up a

multiplication problem which fit

into a 6x6 square; i.e., at least

one digit touched each side of the

square. Inspired guessing has

elicited the information that in

column F, 2 and 7 occur but 4 does

not; in column E, 3 and 4 occur but

9 does not; in column D, 6 and 9

occur but 3 does not; in row J, 1

and 6 occur but not 8; in row K, 4

and 8 occur, but not 1; in row L, 1

and 2 occur, but not 7. The

guessing participant is just one

step away from being hanged. Can

you save him by constructiong the

problem with no more guesses?


A B C D E F
G x x x x x x
H x x x
-----------------
I x x x x x x
J x x x x x x
K x x x x x x
-----------------
L x x x x x x
[/code]

SUPERPRISMATIC NOTE:

Row H has 3 digits without a

leading zero. At least one of the

lines G, I, J, K, and L has no

leading zeros.
