It's time to return some of your useless Christmas gifts and spend all of your Christmas money. Of course you would like to do this in the quickest way possible considering how crowded the stores are at this time of the year. Starting and ending at your house (A) you want to visit each of the stores (B, C, D, E, F) on the map without retracing your path. Can it be done?

List the letters of the
stores in the order in which you plan to visit them. What is the distance
you will travel? Have you found the SHORTEST PATH?
