Theme:<\/b> T<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Find a path from one dot to the other by moving horizontally or vertically between adjacent squares. The path cannot touch itself, even diagonally. All highlighted regions must be used, and may be re-entered. If two or more highlighted regions have the same shape and orientation, then how the path passes through those shapes must be identical. Or see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> For each marked row, enter the size of each group of cells used by the path from left to right. Separate each row’s entry with a comma.<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 2:45, Master = 5:30, Expert = 11:00<\/span><\/p>\n
