Score to beat: 1,600
The rocks on trail #20 are corner hooks of three rocks. You will meet 52 rocks grouped into 21 clumps, laid out symmetrically, with 380 cells still free and 6 rows completely clear.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 10 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 10.9 cells per second by the 10th fruit that clears the stage.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 19 seconds, scoring 1,600 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
Corner hooks are the trap here: a fruit inside the crook of a hook needs a planned exit. Enter along the open side and turn out immediately.
