Zip #538 is a 8×8 grid with 18 numbered cells. The long haul is 4 → 5: 18 cells, so that stretch has to sweep a whole region before it can turn. Remember the path must cover every cell, so dead-end pockets have to be entered and left in one pass.

Hints

Hint 1 — where to start

From 1 at row 4, column 4, the first moves go left×2, down×3.

Hint 2 — a solid foothold

Leg lengths in order: 1→2 is 2 cells, 2→3 is 4 cells, 3→4 is 2 cells, 4→5 is 18 cells, 5→6 is 9 cells, 6→7 is 1 cell, 7→8 is 7 cells, 8→9 is 2 cells, 9→10 is 1 cell, 10→11 is 2 cells, 11→12 is 2 cells, 12→13 is 2 cells, 13→14 is 3 cells, 14→15 is 3 cells, 15→16 is 2 cells, 16→17 is 1 cell, 17→18 is 2 cells.

Halfway point: after 32 cells you should be at row 4, column 8.
