I have created this number maze for you to solve, but I have added a twist:



If you pass through the secret passage then every number on the maze will reduce by one:(9 will become 8 and 8 will become 7 and so on... Any zeros will stay as zero, no negative numbers) You can only travel the passage in the direction of the arrows - from the bottom right corner.



You can only move the number of squares that is shown on square that you are on, (For example, the starting square: 5 will only allow you to travel to square 7 or 4 and so on... if you land on a zero then you cannot move any further)



You can only move vertically or horizontally, not diagonally.



You can visit a square as many times as required and also go back in the direction in which you came.

As I created this number maze, I have what I believe is the shortest route, or if I made a mistake when creating the maze you may find a shorter route.




What is the shortest number of steps you can find to get from the starting square to the exit square? (you have to land on the exit square and to use the secret passage, you have to land on the secret passage square.)



Give the route you took with directions? The number on square followed by the direction to get to the next square, for example (7R, 2D, 5U, 6L)

  • If you land on a zero do you have no movement capabilities? Also do you have to get the exact number to land on the secret passage or just get to it (i.e. if you were 6 blocks away and had a movement of 7 would you not be able to get to it)

    @gabbo1092 I will add to the list of rules to clarify any uncertainty, If you land on a zero then you cannot move, and you have to land directly on the secret passage to access it.

  • If you land on a zero do you have no movement capabilities? Also do you have to get the exact number to land on the secret passage or just get to it (i.e. if you were 6 blocks away and had a movement of 7 would you not be able to get to it)

    @gabbo1092 I will add to the list of rules to clarify any uncertainty, If you land on a zero then you cannot move, and you have to land directly on the secret passage to access it.

I think this may be the solution:




5R,7D,3U,6R,2D,5U,8L,6D,3L,4U,2R,3R,2R,3D,2R,1D,2R (secret passage)
4R, 1R, 6D, 3U, 1R, 1R, 2R, 3U, 2D, 2L, 3L, 5D, 5R, 1L, 6U, 1D, 7L, 3D, 2U, 7R, 3R, end




Steps:

The one that I've found is

4R,1R,6D,3R,6U,5D,1L,4U,5D,5R,1L,6U,1D,7L,3D,2U,7R,3R
EDIT: I made a mistake somewhere, sorry




Depending how you count steps this needs




35 or 134 steps




My way of thinking:




I quickly realized that we cannot enter the secret passage the second time (there is no 2 in a distance of 1, or a 3 in a distance of 2, etc. from its entrance). So I assumed we got to 'End' after all the numbers have been decreased by 1. Then worked backwards from there.

    Not sure if its a typing error or what but when I followed your steps after the secret passage you said 4U, 5D, 5R but 4U, 5D leads to a 2 turned 1

35 or 134 steps




My way of thinking:




I quickly realized that we cannot enter the secret passage the second time (there is no 2 in a distance of 1, or a 3 in a distance of 2, etc. from its entrance). So I assumed we got to 'End' after all the numbers have been decreased by 1. Then worked backwards from there.

    Not sure if its a typing error or what but when I followed your steps after the secret passage you said 4U, 5D, 5R but 4U, 5D leads to a 2 turned 1

  • @elias getting close but you may have taken a wrong turn somewhere... I also like your comment on the number of steps taken, I was thinking the number of squares you use, but still interesting to see the number of squares that are traversed.

The one that I've found is




5R,7D,3U,6R,2D,5U,8L,6D,3L,4U,2R,3R,2R,3D,2R,1D,2R (secret passage)
4R,1R,6D,3R,6U,5D,1L,4U,5D,5R,1L,6U,1D,7L,3D,2U,7R,3R
EDIT: I made a mistake somewhere, sorry




Depending how you count steps this needs




35 or 134 steps

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day. Off-late, my supervisor has been holding 6-7 hour long "meetin

Confectionery

Image
Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
