Problem Description:
The task involves marking numbers in a grid according to specific rules. The rules are as follows:
1.
Number LESS than 5: Skip 1 square.
2.
Number EQUAL to 5: Skip 2 squares.
3.
Number GREATER than 5: Skip 3 squares.
We need to start at the beginning of the grid and follow these rules step by step, marking the corresponding squares as we go.
Grid Layout:
The grid is structured as follows:
```
0 0 2 3 8 0 3 1 0
0 1 4 4 6 3 1 9 1
0 8 9 0 0 8 1 0 3
7 0 5 9 4 9 6 4 9
4 1 5 4 1 5 0 7 9
```
Solution Approach:
1. Start at the first number in the grid (top-left corner).
2. Apply the rule based on the value of the current number.
3. Move to the next square according to the rule and mark it.
4. Repeat until all applicable numbers are processed.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Row 1:
-
Start at 0: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the second `0`.
-
Current position: 0: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `2`.
-
Current position: 2: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `3`.
-
Current position: 3: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `8`.
-
Current position: 8: Greater than 5 → Skip 3 squares → Mark the `0` (next row).
Marked so far: `0, 0, 2, 3, 8`.
#### Row 2:
-
Start at 0: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `1`.
-
Current position: 1: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `4`.
-
Current position: 4: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `4`.
-
Current position: 4: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `6`.
-
Current position: 6: Greater than 5 → Skip 3 squares → Mark the `1` (next row).
Marked so far: `0, 0, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 4, 6`.
#### Row 3:
-
Start at 0: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `8`.
-
Current position: 8: Greater than 5 → Skip 3 squares → Mark the `0` (next row).
Marked so far: `0, 0, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 4, 6, 8`.
#### Row 4:
-
Start at 7: Greater than 5 → Skip 3 squares → Mark the `5`.
-
Current position: 5: Equal to 5 → Skip 2 squares → Mark the `9`.
-
Current position: 9: Greater than 5 → Skip 3 squares → Mark the `4` (next row).
Marked so far: `0, 0, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 4, 6, 8, 5, 9`.
#### Row 5:
-
Start at 4: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `1`.
-
Current position: 1: Less than 5 → Skip 1 square → Mark the `5`.
-
Current position: 5: Equal to 5 → Skip 2 squares → Mark the `5`.
-
Current position: 5: Equal to 5 → Skip 2 squares → Mark the `7`.
Marked so far: `0, 0, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 4, 6, 8, 5, 9, 1, 5, 5, 7`.
Final Marked Numbers:
The marked numbers in order are:
```
0, 0, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 4, 6, 8, 5, 9, 1, 5, 5, 7
```
Final Answer:
\boxed{0, 0, 2, 3, 8, 1, 4, 4, 6, 8, 5, 9, 1, 5, 5, 7}
