%N A354916 Maximum length of 4 finite snakes in the Snake Number Problem with n-periodic instructions in an infinite square grid (see Comments).
%C A354916 We start with 4 infinite snakes, and 4 possible directions: up, right, down, left.
%C A354916 If on its turn one of the snakes cannot execute an order because that square is occupied, it goes to the next order, and so on.
%C A354916 The snakes can be blocked and finish there or can continue infinitely.
%C A354916 Which are the longest finite snakes using n instructions for 4 snakes that start in the same square (with n >= 4 because with 3 or fewer instructions are infinite)?LINKS
