Hi to all of you guys, I’m new here…
May this thread fits on this section. A friend of mine gave me this enigma to do, written in excel but I can’t attach .xls file here.
Enigma:
There is almost an infinite amount (with 10^92 possibilities) of tables (Table1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 100, Table 101...), with ten rows (row 0,1,2,......9) in each.
Inside each table is numbers 1 to 92, 93 and 184, 185 to 276, and 277 to 284 with its position lie on their certain rows.
Here I gave the example tables that have been filled in for 40 tables. By finding the patterns/ formulas, my friend asked me to extend the tables to fill in the blank tables 41,42,43,etc as given beneath of Table 40.

If these tables are using permutation method, then how do you find the formula for its permutation?

Thanks.

Hi bryanfuller,
I've changed the enigma above to a simpler one below.
There is a 40 rows x 100 columns matrix. You can see the file at Mediafire.com (a file hosting service) name 40x100.xls:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=377876bf18014afeed24a2875c7fa58ee04e75f6 e8ebb871

Inside matrix is numbers, which each number appears four times in every columns.
Here I gave the example table that have been filled in for numbers 0,1,2,3. By finding the patterns/ formulas, can you help me to extend the table to fill in for the next larger numbers 4,5,6,7, and so on..

Thanks.

EDIT:
I've changed the matrix into 40 rows x 40 columns as a new file name 40x40.xls (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2ca12170efc42d316e7203eb87368129e04e75f6 e8ebb871)
