Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

How many paths are there from (0,0) to (6,4) with blocked points at (2,2) and (4,3)?

💡 Hint: Break this down into segments, computing each segment's paths separately.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe a complex grid scenario involving three blocked points and outline the process to compute valid paths.

💡 Hint: Use clear steps for each block, ensuring you count each way to navigate between them.
