Author Topic: This riddle I found  (Read 5602 times)

You have a 4 by 4 grid, with circles in every square. Like this:

o o o o
o o o o
o o o o
o o o o

You have to take 6 circles away and each row and column must have EVEN (WHOOPS) circles left.

Can anyone figure out the answer? I did, I think..

I think that's incorrect. Column 2 and 3 only have 1 on the grid you show.
