Puzzle 281
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?
1D | 6D | 2R | 3R | 3L | 5D | 1L |
1R | E | 1U | 3R | 1R | 3L | 2D |
2U | 1D | 2L | 2U | 1L | 2D | 1L |
2D | 2R | 1D | 3L | 2U | 3L | 1D |
1R | 1D | 2R | 2D | 1L | 2D | 1D |
3R | 1R | 3U | 4U | 2U | 1L | 1D |
2U | 1R | 2L | 1R | 4U | 3U | 4U |
Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.

Puzzle 284
Consider an arrow in flight towards a target.
At any given moment of time, a snapshot could be taken of this arrow. In this snapshot, the arrow would not be moving. Let us now take another snapshot, leaving a very small gap of time between them. Again, the arrow is stationary. We can keep taking snapshots for each moment of time, each of which shows the arrow to be stationary. Therefore the overall effect is that the arrow never moves, however it still hits the target!
Where lies the flaw in the logic?

Note: BrainBashers has a Dark Mode option. For BrainBashers, I'd recommend not using your browser's built-in dark mode, or any dark mode extensions (sometimes you can add an exception for a specific website).
