computer solution (no diagnals) | Comment 1 of 4

not entirely certain if diagnal movement is allowed
the following solution assumes it is not, I will post another solution assuming that it is.
analysis with Mathematica gives the only path as
84,105,576,200,2990,45,420,72,133,1190,140,546,120

to get this solution, I first created a list of the tests (1 thru 5) which pass for each number in the grid.  I then use this to determine the possible moves for each number.  Finally, I used this to create a graphics which showed all of these possible moves.  This made it quite obvious what the path was.

here is a link to a picture of the resulting graphics showing the possible moves

mathematica code is:

row={3,11,13,5,9,7};

grd={{84,108,91,10,60,40},{105,576,2310,198,30,264},{52,200,2990,286,52,40},{108,420,45,156,330,120},{180,72,140,126,18,153},

{33,133,1190,140,546,120}};
