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...

sorry for the confusion about the number of rows and columns
but it actually doesnt matter much because only the grid gets rotated in either case,,, thats it..
and yeah the solution is perfect
