I was thinking that a solution would have to start from the middle of an empty block of 9 (if one existed) but when I got to level 6 my theory crashed when I found the solution started from (5,5) then it crashed again on level 7 with (3,4) and again on level 8 with (2,5), I won't give full solutions cause that would be like telling you the end of a movie before you'd watched it. Then I realised that this is the same as finding a Hamiltionian path, but it's more difficult than that because no paths are allowed to cross either, and so far no one has ever found a general set of rules to show the existence of a hamiltonian path in a graph so I'd say there is no general set of rules for finding a solution to this problem either, only conditions that would simplify the brute force method. But there are exceptions to this in some specific cases like the n-cube and the puzzle called 'the knights tour' so this problem might be one of those exceptions even though it is more complicated. I seem to have hit a brick wall on level 9 and I shouldn't really be doing this cause I have an exam on friday but I will undoubtedly get up in the morning and have another go cause I'm addicted now and won't be able to rest until I finish it, damn you! ,.,.,
