Competition Problem #2

composed by

 Hugh Darwen, 2001, after anon. (possibly Bernasconi, 1978).
Added later: This bears a striking similarity to Problem #256.  Thanks to Bart Bramley for bringing this to my attention.

Two thirds of this problem was composed by somebody else and I didn't know who it was until Bart Bramley drew Problem #256 by Pietro Bernasconi to my attention.
