14 Slot Cars
Pip is building model car racing tracks using a large supply of the two
types of square plate shown. Ignoring the tabs and slots where plates
are snapped together, both types measure 20 cm x 20 cm. In the first
type, the track is a straight line joining the middles of opposite sides. In
the second, the track is a quarter circle joining the middles of adjacent
sides. Plates can be snapped together in any orientation, as long as the
track is continuous.

Pip wants to complete the track shown below but, because there is lim-
ited space, additional plates can only be put in the 4 x 4 grid indicated
by dotted lines.
