About Zip #547
- Zip #547 is an 8×8 grid with 8 numbered checkpoints and 28 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 8 and must cover all 64 squares.
- It has 8 checkpoints, fewer than the average of 10.7 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, R1C8, and R8C1 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C1 links to R2C1 and R1C2; R1C8 links to R1C7 and R2C8; R8C1 links to R7C1 and R8C2.
- Walls leave R1C4, R1C5, and R2C1 only two open sides each, which fixes their links: R1C4 links to R1C3 and R1C5; R1C5 links to R1C4 and R1C6; R2C1 links to R1C1 and R3C1.
- Checkpoints 2 and 5 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 2 at R5C3 with only two exits: R5C3 links to R4C3 and R5C2.
