Scenic Tour
The deadline for entering was 6/26/98.
I will give you a file providing the altitudes for every point
within a square grid. Your trip starts at the upper left,
goes to the lower right, and then returns. Each move you make
will take you to an adjacent grid point. I'll tell you how many
moves you may make to accomplish the round trip.
Your task: within the given number of moves, both minimize and
maximize the "vertical" distance traveled. Think of it as a map
of mountain ranges ... do as little climbing as possible while going,
then take the "scenic tour" on your return home.
