1.Make a grid with 4 columns and 3 rows
2.Put a cross on the 4 corner cells
3.Now your task is to fill all the numbers: 1 to 8 in the remaining boxes
..
HOWEVER there is 1 simple constraint:

In doing so make sure that numbers that come one after the other ( like 1,2 or 2,3..)
are NOT placed in cells which are touching each other.
This fact has been illustrated in the figure.
If 1 is written in indicated cell(black)
then 2 CANNOT be placed in those cells where its written in RED.
An interesting problem..hope someone comes up with the right solution soon
any queries feel free... happy solving!!!
P.S. Abhishek ( Nanda) you are not entitled to post the soln...
