    AUTO ANSWER (AFTER SEVERAL DAYS):

    This is a >146 IQ question. If you've not found the solution than don't mind about it because this question has no suitable answer.

    Sam Loyd - the greatest person in history on IQ questions has found this. But he gave the price $1000 for someone who can solve this. It was a mathematic shock in the 1880s, and over many years later people knew that the question has no solutions. This is 1 of billions of similar questions can be written down.
