has anyone solved 2012 may june paper

 

[ZainH]

LOL, i'll try that out! But im still quite unsure about this...

Just try to remember if your moving left then right 90 is up and left 90 is down if your moving right then left 90 is up and right 90 is down.
Then once you get the hang of that you can go back to those 2 octagons and see in one to start you have to go towards the right and in the other you have to move towards the left. ( Since you can't move diagonally you have to go straight :s)

Bulletin boards
