It is now four years since I first asked for support, and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has helped me. BrainBashers doesn't show adverts, and I continue to depend on the ongoing support from everyone who enjoys the site.
Puzzle 1
This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.
In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.
Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.
Can you determine which square you must start with?
| 1D | 6D | 2R | 3R | 3L | 5D | 1L |
| 1R | E | 1U | 3R | 1R | 3L | 2D |
| 2U | 1D | 2L | 2U | 1L | 2D | 1L |
| 2D | 2R | 1D | 3L | 2U | 3L | 1D |
| 1R | 1D | 2R | 2D | 1L | 2D | 1D |
| 3R | 1R | 3U | 4U | 2U | 1L | 1D |
| 2U | 1R | 2L | 1R | 4U | 3U | 4U |
