Overview

  • Mint on Aug 29 posted a 10-second grid hiding 28 among 82s, placing the answer at column 11, row 2.
  • Hindustan Times added multiple number-grid teasers: 15 among 51s (row 7, column 8), 9 among 6s (row 4, column 8), and a five‑second 38 among 39s billed as “only 1 in 20,” answered at column 4, row 6.
