I agree with your remark about 16 variations. But my figure of 286
relates only to paths starting at one of the points (0,0) (1,0) (1,1)
(2,0) (2,1) or (2,2) - not every one of the 25 points in the grid.
Anyway, I have now written the code to discard duplicate solutions and
it turns out that there seem to be 118 essentially distinct
configurations. Here they are in a Flickr set...
