- Answer
The cells of a grid are filled in using the numbers through so that each row contains different numbers, and each of the three blocks heavily outlined in the example below contains different numbers, as in the first three rows of a Sudoku puzzle. [asy] unitsize(20); add(grid(9,3)); draw((0,0)--(9,0)--(9,3)--(0,3)--cycle, linewidth(2)); draw((3,0)--(3,3), linewidth(2)); draw((6,0)--(6,3), linewidth(2)); real a = 0.5; label("5",(a,a)); label("6",(1+a,a)); label("1",(2+a,a)); label("8",(3+a,a)); label("4",(4+a,a)); label("7",(5+a,a)); label("9",(6+a,a)); label("2",(7+a,a)); label("3",(8+a,a)); label("3",(a,1+a)); label("7",(1+a,1+a)); label("9",(2+a,1+a)); label("5",(3+a,1+a)); label("2",(4+a,1+a)); label("1",(5+a,1+a)); label("6",(6+a,1+a)); label("8",(7+a,1+a)); label("4",(8+a,1+a)); label("4",(a,2+a)); label("2",(1+a,2+a)); label("8",(2+a,2+a)); label("9",(3+a,2+a)); label("6",(4+a,2+a)); label("3",(5+a,2+a)); label("1",(6+a,2+a)); label("7",(7+a,2+a)); label("5",(8+a,2+a)); [/asy] The number of different ways to fill such a grid can be written as where , , , and are distinct prime numbers and , , , are positive integers. Find .
