This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.
In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.
Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.
Can you determine which square you must start with?
| 2R | 1D | 2D | 2L | 1L | 1L | 1L |
| 1U | 2R | 2L | 2D | 1D | 1R | 2D |
| 3R | 5R | 2D | 2L | 1R | 1U | 4D |
| 2D | 1R | 2R | 3L | 2U | 2D | 1D |
| 2U | 1U | 2D | 1D | 1L | 1U | 2L |
| 6R | 1U | 4U | E | 1D | 3L | 2L |
| 2U | 1U | 2L | 2L | 1R | 2L | 6U |
Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.

I was travelling from Chesterton to Newcastle recently when I came across a sign which had fallen off its post at the crossroads.
It was marked to Newcastle, Chesterton, Knutton and Silverdale.
Unfortunately I didn't know which road to take to Newcastle and had hoped the sign would help.
Luckily I had a brainwave which helped me put the sign back pointing correctly to Newcastle.
What was my idea?
