number puzzle 1-8

number puzzle 1-8
uhmmm..


this is the drawing(nevermind the dots! i can't just draw it because of the rule of html so just change the dots to spaces. ^^

................................_______________________
................................l...................l....................l
..............__________l___________l___________ l___________
..............l.................l...................l....................l....................l
..............l__________l__________.l___________l___________.l
................................l...................l....................l
................................l___________l___________ l

supposed to be this is the box( i know you don't like it, i don't know how to upload and also to be viewed in my post. its on thumbnail)
it has 8 boxes that must be filled with numbers 1-8.

i don't know how to explain the rules but let me illustrate it


................................_______________________
................................l...........5......l.......6...........l
..............__________l___________l___________ l___________
..............l.................l...................l....................l....................l
..............l__________l__________.l___________l___________.l
................................l...................l....................l
................................l___________l___________ l


this is wrong because 5 should not be near at 6 also with 4 we should replace it by 1,2,3,7,8.
this is horizontal same through as vertical and diagonal. thats wrong

another illustration,


................................_______________________
................................l.......5..........l........1..........l
..............__________l___________l___________ l___________
..............l.........6......l...................l....................l....................l
..............l__________l__________.l___________l___________.l
................................l...................l....................l
................................l___________l___________ l
still this is wrong. number 1 is in the correct position but 5 and 6 are not because they are near with each other if we will look at it diagonally.

now

fill the box from numbers 1-8
(ahhh! guess you understand what i meant!!! it's hard for me to explain it in english)

Can't be done. With the range of numbers 1-8 in that grid, at least two next sequential numbers will always be in contact with each other diagonally no matter what you do.

Not too proud to admit I was wrong. :] Thank you for demonstrating I lack the patience required for puzzles.

Well I think you should be proud actually, honestly admitting one's mistake is a quality that isn't that common nowadays.
