Shaka, the game is called Avoid the Dots ! (or at least I think so, at 03.00 in the morning I can't be sure smile.gif )

Here is my path laugh.gif

(I will go ahead and order T-shirts with "Phil made me a rover driver" printed on them)

PS. Ustrax, great words for great emotions, as usual !

Shaka, the game is called Avoid the Dots !

Thank you, El Chemisto, for enlightening me. I did notice that there are some areas along the proposed track where you don't quite avoid every single dot - you sort of...well...run over them. My question is: does Phils graph allow you to calculate the probability that you will succeed in getting to the other side?
TIA smile.gif

My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
