Solutions to Tour Puzzles

I've published a set of tour puzzles on the Knight and Leaper Tours subforum. Moves at the top of the 6x7 board (Diagonal, Lateral or Right angles) are given and the puzzle in each case is to complete a symmetric closed tour.

To avoid having the solutions on the same page I thought it might be better to publish them here and provide a link to this page, to allow time for people to solve the puzzles.


The solutions can all be reasoned out step by step. For instance the paths through the corner cells are fixed, and in most cases this is true of other cells. Another factor to watch for is where putting in a pair of opposite moves (to satisfy the symmetry condition) results in a short circuit (i.e. not a complete tour).
