Starting from the central cell of this maze (there's a (3) in it), the challenge is to find a path that leads you off the maze, and to a "star" (*).

The number at each cell shows how many steps, in a straight line, you must take. You can travel horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, up or down, left or right.

But! You must reach the first star in the direction you are travelling in an exact number of steps, and not go any further. If you reach a star, and still have some steps "left over", you cannot exit that way.

Solution without diagonals | Comment 3 of 27 |

Starting at the 3, go right 3 to the 2, up 2 to the 4, left 4 to the 1, left 1 to the 9, and left 9 to the *. That's 5 moves.

I came up with this without realizing you could move diagonally. No clue if this is the minimal solution or not.
