A Mathematical Listener Crossword

Hi everyone, 


The Listener crossword series is considered to be the hardest in the world.  It's been running since 1930 with weekly puzzles that are loved the world over.  Four times a year instead of being a cryptic crossword that week's Listener puzzle is a mathematical crossword.  Knowing our audience, we were sure you'd be interested to see one of these and also a guide on how to solve it.  Our friend Neil Talbott has kindly created the attached video for us - enjoy!

I started solving Listener crosswords when it was still in the Listener! And my first ever solve was a numerical one. I've never done many, but it's always very nice when/if you get them out.

This was fun to solve, but it was annoying that I couldn't type a 0 into the CTC software.
