Both are easy (at least for a computer). The first puzzle didn't require any diagonal based moves (other than singles). Leren

Well, all puzzles are easy for a computer. As the subject line indicates, these two are intended for dogged humans.

Leren,
This one is also easy but heavily dependent on intersections:
Code: Select all
 . . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . . 1
 . . 2 . . . . . 3
 . . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . . .
 . 4 . 5 . . 6 . .
 . . . 4 . 7 . . .
 . . 3 . . . . . 2
 . . 1 . . . . . 8   


Regards,

Mike
