Noun (medium)
This maze first appeared as the monthly maze competition for July 2015.
This is a jumping maze (see Jumping Mazes); the number in each cell tells you how far you can jump horizontally or vertically from that cell.
However, in this maze you may not make a U-turn by jumping straight back in the direction you've just come from. So, for example, from the starting square you can jump right to the 2 in the top row, but you are not then allowed to jump left two squares, as this is a U-turn.
Start on the 3 in the top left corner, and find the shortest series of jumps that will take you to the finish in the bottom right corner.
