Today's (London Times) Listener crossword, no 4647, is one of the four
numerical
puzzles published each year.
Here's the "preamble":
<<
The clues are algebraic expressions for numbers to be entered in the
grid. The letters in clues
represent the numbers 1 to 15 in an order to be determined. Some of
the 15 perimeter cells will
contain two digits. The three corner cells are not part of any clued
entry; the solver must enter
numbers in them to complete a “roundabout” of relations linking
every adjacent pair of the 15
perimeter numbers. Reading clockwise from the top, they could be
considered literally as a précis
of the solver’s success (8, 4, 3). No entry starts with zero and all
are different.

I _think_ this is a link to a pdf copy of the puzzle in dropbox, and I
think it's shared. Apologies if
not; I'm new to dropbox.

As I solved it with the help of J, I hope it's ok to post this in the
Chat forum.
Cheers,
Mike
