That would have been quite some re-working had it been the same song!

This one should suit highway engineers or the like, down to the ground !
Starting at the top, and travelling downwards with each move, until you finish at the bottom, what’s the highest score you can achieve ?
PS. You can only travel in straight lines between the Nodes, ie no left/right turns where lines cross.
139?
That’s the right number Mike. Well done and extremely quick too.
Is the max route unique ?
And what’s the minimum Route number ?

I only found one route: 17 +24 + 25 + 28 + 25 + 20 = 139.
There is a second route: 17 + 24 + 26 + 24 + 28 + 20 = 139
The “shortest” route came to 129 IIRC

…and I figured out there are 18 different routes in total.
But my figures are un-verified !
The Train Home
A chap usually leaves work at 5pm, calls at the pub for a swift pint, then catches the 5:30pm train, which arrives at the station in his home town at 6pm. His wife leaves home each day, drives to the station and picks him up at 6pm, just as he gets off the train.
Today the chap finishes work about five minutes earlier than usual, decides to go straight to the station instead of calling at the pub, and manages to catch the 5pm train, which arrives at his home station at 5:30pm. Since his wife is not there to pick him up he begins to walk home. His wife leaves home at the usual time, sees her husband walking, turns around, picks him up and drives home, arriving there 10 minutes earlier than usual.
Assuming that all trains arrive precisely on time and there is no time wasted in turning around etc, for how long does the chap walk before his wife picks him up ?
PS This all took place in a time before we all had phones in the house, never mind mobile phones !!
Clearly, if he left work 5 minutes early, he should have just gone to the pub for 2 pints!

I made a start and got lost, so heading to the headphones.
I had:
T1 = time from home to train station
W = distance chap walks
X = distance wife travels from home until she meets him
with T1 - 30 minutes = 2X + W
Time for wine…

The chap had been walking for 25 minutes.

I agree with Steve.
His wife saved 10 minutes on the round trip so must have met him 5 minutes early at 5.55.
So, based on Mike’s comment about an extra pint, he could have downed 5 pints in the time spent walking!

Yep, 25 minutes walking is the correct answer. Well done Ravvie and Steve …
… and good decision Mike !!
