My seven-year-old grandson Jack loved solving this puzzle. I said I'd send it to you. We are in America.

Jack's mum made a video for me as he doesn't live with me.
I can tell you that he started with the number 4 between the 3 and the 5 because he saw that pattern. With discussion, he saw the relationship between the 4 and the 6 below and was super excited.
There's a video here with Jack saying a few things about his solution: Buzzy Bee.mp4
Thank you Jack for your very good work and explanation, and to Ginny for sending it in to us.
