Hint 2 of 2
Follow each figure's allowed moves and see which one can actually arrive at the top gap G without an impossible turn.
Show solution
Approach: follow each figure's allowed directions to the gate
- Gate G is at the top edge, so a figure must be able to move up to reach it.
- Checking each figure's permitted arrow directions, only figure B has a route that leads out through G.
