Problem No. 2 is a fine example of another class of problems, namely,
"strokes." It is formed from the "Paisley" opening, thus:--

11-16 22-17 11-16 26-19 9-13 15-10
24-19 9-13 25-21 4-8 25-22 a 2-7
8-11 17-14 6-9 29-25 7-11
28-24 10-17 23-18 13-17 19-15
16-20 21-14 16-23 31-26 12-16

a. This forms the position on the diagram. The solution is as
