About Zip #515
- Zip #515 is a 7×7 grid with 13 numbered checkpoints and 8 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 13 and must cover all 49 squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 13 checkpoints, more than the average of 10.9 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- Each square is entered once and left once, so it needs two path links; only the two ends, checkpoints 1 and 13, need just one.
- The corners checkpoint 11 at R7C1 and checkpoint 9 at R7C7 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R7C1 links to R6C1 and R7C2; R7C7 links to R6C7 and R7C6.
- Walls leave R2C4, R4C2, and R4C6 only two open sides each, which fixes their links: R2C4 links to R1C4 and R2C5; R4C2 links to R3C2 and R4C1; R4C6 links to R5C6 and R4C7.
