arrangement of letters on one of the tombstones. In how many different ways

- THE FLY'S TOUR
A fly pitched on the square in the
top left-hand comer of a chessboard,
and then proceeded to visit every
white square. He did this without ever
entering a black square or ever pass-
ing through the same intersection
(where a horizontal and a vertical
line meet) more than once. Can you
show his route? It can be done in
seventeen continuous straight courses.
