Scott the Painter

October 30, 2016 at 6:46am by huggins.5@osu.edu

Scott the painter is going to paint the floors of 16 rooms. He is in room #1. He can go through any door (see diagram). He cannot return to any room once he has painted it — slow-drying paint! In what order should he paint the rooms? Obviously, #16 must be last.
