Using only the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, arrange four sets of these numbers into a four-by-four array so that no column or row contains the same two numbers. The result is known as a Latin square.
Here are two examples of Latin squares of order 4:
1
2
3
4

In effect, each row (and each column) is a permutation of four distinct numbers (or symbols).
