SOLO-026 · Hamiltonian path
EXPERTThe One-Way Crossing
Number all boxes from 1 to 36 to form a single orthogonal path without repetition.
Materials: Pencil, gum and grill; no connection required.
Rules you need
- The successive numbers occupy two boxes sharing one side; no diagonal displacement.
- Each box receives exactly a number of 1 to 36. Print marks remain in their place.
- The course starts in 1 and ends in 36; it does not have to go back to the start.
The puzzle
The white boxes are all usable. The boxes without clues are not obstacles.
