• "Dear 8 set 2. Thanks very much for your feedback. On your suggestion the three level scale has now been changed to five levels. The new levels 2 and 3 fit between the old levels 1 and 2 in terms of difficulty.
  Having said that, the grids are generated by random numbers so there is a chance that a grid comprising of larger numbers is actually easier to solve. Refreshing the page will repopulate the grid with different numbers at the same level.
  The numbers at the heads of the rows and columns are randomly generated so that they are:
  Level 1: Up to 10
  Level 2: Up to 20
  Level 3: Up to 50
  Level 4: Up to 100
  Level 5: Up to 1000"
