The Coinage Puzzle





(THE PROFESSOR'S PUZZLES)

He made a rough diagram, and placed a crown and a florin in two of the divisions, as indicated in the illustration.



"Now," he continued, "place the fewest possible current English coins in the seven empty divisions, so that each of the three columns, three rows, and two diagonals shall add up fifteen shillings.

"Certainly not."



"Then I give it up."
