bonanova Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Four knights occupy the corners of a chessboard. At each tick of a clock, they move [in the manner of knights] to a new square. After 16 ticks, They've returned to their starting points.Every square on the board has been visited.The center line [between ranks 4 and 5] has not been crossed. Give one of the paths.
