9 5 1 3 6 1 4 0
8 6 8 6 1 1 1 1 2 1
1 9 8 0 1 7 3 3 3 2
5 2 2 6 9 2 1 3
9 1 1 1 1 1 1 3

The sum of the digits in the row indicated by the arrows was 9+5+1+3+6+1+4+0=29.

There were 84 entries, 78 of which were correct. The randomly selected winners are:

  1. Vilda Markeviciute, who wins a £100 Maths Gear goody bag,
  2. Gratien Léo, who wins a Chalkdust T-shirt,
