Score to beat: 3,600
On trail #60 the board holds corner hooks of three rocks, 44 rocks in total and 8 clumps. The pattern is the same in all four quarters; 10 rows of the board are untouched and 388 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 13.7 cells per second and reaches about 15.7 by the 14th fruit.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 13 seconds, scoring 3,600 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.
