307.--THE COLOURED COUNTERS.

[Illustration]

The diagram represents twenty-five coloured counters, Red, Blue, Yellow,

Orange, and Green (indicated by their initials), and there are five of

each colour, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The problem is so to place them

in a square that neither colour nor number shall be found repeated in

any one of the five rows, five columns, and two diagonals. Can you so

rearrange them?
