Puzzle 201
At the equator the radius of the earth is 6,378 km, so its circumference is almost exactly 40,000 km.
Imagine we had a long rope which went around the equator, this would of course be 40,000 km long.
If we now placed 1 metre sticks vertically all the way around and lay the rope on top of these sticks (so the rope would be 1m higher all the way around) how much extra rope would we require?

Below is a map of the BrainBashers detention facility.
There are 9 guards, A-I, who are in charge of a particular number of cells.
The guards only guard cells that they can see in a continuous straight line, either horizontally or vertically, and each cell is only protected by one guard.
The numbers represent how many cells each guard is in charge of, they are of course in charge of the cell they are currently in.
Can you work out which guards are in charge of which cells?
