East, that's a hell of an explanation to remind me that I made a massive typo!  😂  It is meant to read "directly", no idea how I put diagonally down.  Must confess though I oftern wondered why the numbers were arranged as they were.  Stumbled across this, it's quite interesting but I still don't understand it!  😂
