    Problem of the Week

    Problem A
    Treasure Map
    Captain Flora Burn has discovered a treasure map. She wants to dock her ship at
    the landing point and walk to the treasure. Her crew wants to travel the shortest
    possible distance while avoiding the giant sea serpent. She and her crew can only
    move along the gridlines when sailing and walking.

    Captain Burn uses the compass directions: North (up), South (down), East
    (right) and West (left) to describe the way she moves. For instance if she moves
    up 2 gridlines, she says North-2.
    Provide a list of moves that Captain Burn can follow so that she travels the
    shortest possible distance to get to the treasure.
