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?
| 4R | 4D | 1R | 1D | 2D | 4L | 1D |
| 1R | 4D | 5D | 2R | 2D | 1L | 4L |
| 2R | 1D | 1L | 2R | 2R | 2D | 2U |
| 2R | 2R | 3U | 3D | 1R | 3U | 6L |
| 3U | 3R | 1D | 2U | 4L | 2D | 3L |
| 3U | 1L | 1R | 1R | 1R | 1R | 2U |
| 6U | E | 2U | 2L | 4L | 1L | 2U |

Your objective is to place some diagonal mirrors into the grid.
If a ray of light is shone in to the grid from each of the letters, and allowed to bounce off the internal diagonal mirrors, each will exit the grid at the twin of the letter that it entered the grid. For example, a ray entering at either letter D will bounce off some mirrors and exit the grid at the other letter D.
Each row and each column will contain exactly two of the diagonal mirrors.
