Abstract. Let A be any n × n array on the symbols [n], with at most m symbols in each cell. An n × n Latin square L avoids A if no entry in L is present in the corresponding cell in A. If m = 1 and A is split into two arrays B and C in a special way, there are Latin squares L B and L C avoiding B and C respectively. In other words, the intricacy of avoiding arrays is 2, the number of arrays into which A has to be split. We also investigate the case m > 1, derive some upper and lower bounds, and propose a conjecture on the exact value of the intricacy for the general case
