%N The minimal number of steps that a path-avoiding snail must take in order to have a step of length (2n-1)/2^k for some k.

%C The path-avoiding snail takes steps of unit length if doing so does not cause it to collide with its trail. If a unit length step would cause a collision, it travels halfway to its trail. After every step the snail may turn left or right or remain straight.

%H Peter Kagey, <a href="https://math.stackexchange.com/q/2678852/121988">Number of steps the path-avoiding snail must take before a step size of (2n-1)/2^k?</a>, Mathematics Stack Exchange.
