Back from the Klondike

Start from that heart in the center and go three steps in a straight line in any one of the eight directions, north, south, east or west, or on the bias, as the ladies say, northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest. When you have gone three steps in a straight line, you will reach a square with a number on it, which indicates the second day's journey, as many steps as it tells, in a straight line in any of the eight directions. From this new point when reached, march on again according to the number indicated, and continue on, following the requirements of the numbers reached, until you come upon a square with a number which will carry you just one step beyond the border, when you are supposed to be out of the woods and can holler all you want, as you will have solved the puzzle.

Nawili ako jan sa puzzle na yan nung 2nd year ko sa high school. Kasi parang sobrang complicated na di ko malaman kung ano e. Okay.. Complicated talaga siya. Sa una, at malamang pangalawa hanggang sa magsawa ka na, mahirap i-solve. Hindi... Hindi mo talaga ma-sosolve pwera na lang kung ang IQ mo ay 200. Siguro? Pero ung solution pala niya... Sobrang dali lang. O ngayon, syempre, alam ko ung solution... At hindi ko ipopost un XD
