As mayor, it is my duty to introduce myself to each and every town citizen. I plan to come to every one of your houses, but I am lazy and want to do it as quickly as possible. - On the town map, the distance between any two locations is displayed as the number above the line connecting them. Each house is represented with initials. - I want to know the shortest path that allows me to visit all 25 locations, including my house. - I don't want to pander, so I cannot visit the same team (Gangster & G-Men) more than 5 times in a rowTo enter, give me the total distance traveled and list each house I visit in order. Like last week, this is a group challenge. TIEBREAKER: I'm going to try this myself. With your entry, guess the distance my own solution will take me. Note that all 12 G-Men are on the top half of the map, and all 12 Gangsters are on the bottom. This is stricly to make this challenge easier and not at all due to financially-motivated segregation. The higher "EC" is Erik Coppertop's house, and the lower one on the side is mine. Attachments:

Calendar this. Also, you should use Imgur for images. You have limited space on your account for attachments.

Calendered, thanks!

One node is named "DA", but should be named "DC".
You have two nodes labeled "EC". I assume one of them is Erock, and the other is you. Which one is which, and must we start at your house?
You grouped the teams together. This makes it very difficult to create a chain that has fewer than 5 of the same team. That means there are probably only a few dozen paths that are legal, which makes this a fairly simple challenge.

Oh yeah I guess there are 25 locations. I have to visit them all, I don't have to start at my house. Erik Coppertop's house is the higher one.
The "you can only visit 5 locations of the same team in a row" rule is to stop people from simply using a traveling sales problem solver, of which there are a few easily findable by searching the Internet.

If already visited, does the house count towards the 5 in a row?

Do you have to end up back at your house?

landing on your EC, the far right one, that doesn't count toward one team or the other right?
EC isn't a gman or a gangster?

hes not on either team...so I would assume its ok I just saw a glitch though....MM, is he still counted among the GANGSTERS? if so I violated the 5 house rule, but he's in a grave not a house? any thoughts? I have 8 houses linked on the bottom...one is Mayor and one is dead...if they dont count we should be ok.
