About Zip #529
- Zip #529 is a 6×6 grid with 8 numbered checkpoints and 0 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 8 and must cover all 36 squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 8 checkpoints, fewer than the average of 11.1 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 8, need just one.
- The corners R1C1, checkpoint 2 at R6C1, and R6C6 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C1 links to R2C1 and R1C2; R6C1 links to R5C1 and R6C2; R6C6 links to R5C6 and R6C5.
