    Thanks for explaining the technique. I had been going 1 step further to the right and it hadn't even crossed my mind to start 1 square back.

    Yes same comment as several others, my normal reflex for the right hand side was about 4 or 5 more. Now I need to work out *why* it was 4 more.

    very interesting idea! this structure is really common and ive always been confused on the best way to optimize it, so this has genuinely been quite helpful

    Wow, an 8-step difference between my usual tendencies and the best path. No wonder I have so many 4th place trophies. Very informative!

    Very generous offer! Maybe if I do this puzzle a few times, the geometry of game spaces will make more sense to me.

      @PGT: for example: why does it seem counter-intuitive to be able to get this one in 70 steps and not 78? Bugs Vi 400

      @PGT: The path you take up is just longer
