I understand the question to the most part, but when it says for the input, that is a maximum length the pattern has to be, is that, is one pattern touching all 9 buttons? so if it was of length 1 would it be a maximum of touching all 9? |

I don't understand what you are asking about the 9 buttons. There's a sample case of "size 1" in the question. Does the output to the sample case confirm your understanding of the requirement? |

I got pretty bad on this dwite, on the first one did 24 - instead of - 24, but for that last question as I understood you were supposed to figure out the total amount of patterns with a certain length, I made every single button have an integer value on the possible steps from that position, now I understood how you got 56 from 1, you just add up all the moves for each button, but when you do 2, wouldnt you take the add the different 2 length patterns so if you were on button 1 that would have 5 locations and you would go total += location[1]*location[possible Edges]? |

AJ would be the best person to talk to about Q5. I think he's planning on some writeups over the next couple of days. |
