Score to beat: 400
On trail #3 the board holds single stones scattered in a mirror pattern, 24 rocks in total and 24 clumps. The pattern is the same in all four quarters; 12 rows of the board are untouched and 408 cells stay open.
This is a No walls trail: leave the board on one side and you come back on the other, so the border is a shortcut rather than a danger. The snake starts at 7 cells per second and reaches about 7.9 by the 10th fruit.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 16 seconds, scoring 400 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
Single stones barely block anything, but they break up long straight runs. Swing wide around them so the body does not snag on a stone later.
