About Zip #546
- Zip #546 is a 6×6 grid with 14 numbered checkpoints and 0 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 14 and must cover all 36 squares.
- It has 14 checkpoints, more than the average of 10.0 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 14, need just one.
- The corners checkpoint 7 at R1C6, checkpoint 12 at R6C1, and checkpoint 9 at R6C6 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C6 links to R1C5 and R2C6; R6C1 links to R5C1 and R6C2; R6C6 links to R5C6 and R6C5.
- Checkpoints 6 and 14 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 6 at R1C2 with only two exits and checkpoint 14 at R1C1, an end of the path, with a single exit: R1C2 links to R2C2 and R1C3; R1C1 links to R2C1.
