Randomly joined the dots to produce lines that get you to the final point and keep going till all points are touched ( I believe, implemented in lisp, it takes 51+ hours on a modest box ). Or, does it involve restricting the path along the boundary of the grid and removing points from this boundary ? I began trying to code the 2nd way when the combinatorics style seemed to be the most elegant way to approach the sum. Do tell us of your solution. The really hard way ?

I did it the really hard way since I just don't get combinatorics. >.< Good work… I did it the really hard way since I just don’t get combinatorics. >.<
