by : $269$

 * Sixteen Straight Runs
 * A commercial traveller started in his car from the point $A$ shown,
 * and wished to go $76$ miles in $16$ straight runs, never going along the same road twice.


 * The dots represent the towns and villages, and these are one mile apart.
 * The lines show the route he selected.

 * It will be seen that he carried out his plan correctly, but $6$ towns or villages were unvisited.
 * Can you show a better route by which he could have gone $76$ miles in $16$ straight runs, and left only $3$ towns unvisited?
