About Zip #530
- Zip #530 is a 7×7 grid with 10 numbered checkpoints and 0 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 10 and must cover all 49 squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 10 checkpoints, fewer than the average of 11.0 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 10, need just one.
- The corners R1C1, R1C7, R7C1, and R7C7 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C1 links to R2C1 and R1C2; R1C7 links to R1C6 and R2C7; R7C1 links to R6C1 and R7C2; R7C7 links to R6C7 and R7C6.
