I've also been working with an eight section grid that includes diagonals. The more complex the grid, the more difficult it becomes managing the variations manually. However, to my mind, you can gain a unique understanding for these variations only by working through the possibilities manually. Employing software will give you quick and exact results, but will not provide a thorough understanding. Unfortunately, this project has been on hold for me for some time now. I'm hoping to return to it in the near future. o. Ian,

Have you ever tried it with a 4x4 grid or are the permutations just too numerous? I find it interesting to think about the difference between an even number (symmetrical) grid and an odd number (centred) grid. Best wishes Ian Found this very interesting.
