Draw a Line to Partition the Grid (Posted on 2016-04-25) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Draw a line following the grid lines conforming the the following rules:
1 - The line starts from S and ends at F.
2 - The line does not cross or overlap itself at any point.
3 - The line divides the grid into regions each with exactly two As and two Bs.
+---+---+---+---+---F
| A | B | A |   | B |
+---+---+---+---+---+
|   | B |   |   | B |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| A |   | B |   | A |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| A | A |   | A | B |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| B |   | B |   | A |
S---+---+---+---+---+
An example of a solved grid:

I was considering that question. But that would negate the non-crossing rule, as anything that could be accomplished via a crossing could also be accomplished via such a one-point touch. Looking at the static picture whose URL you included, one can imagine that doubly-used point either way: a crossing or a tangent point.
