Let's solve this "Skip Count x2" maze step by step.

🔍 Understanding the Task

- You are to skip count by 2s (i.e., count every even number: 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., up to 100).
- Start at 2, then go to 4, 6, 8, etc.
- Dab or color in each number as you go.
- When you reach 100, the instructions say: *"start the sequence over and continue to the star."*
- The star is at 100, so after reaching 100, you'd continue with 2, 4, 6... again, but since the star is already at 100, we assume the path ends there.

But wait — the last circle before the star is 98, and the star itself has 100. So the goal is to reach 100 by skip-counting by 2s through the maze.

✔ Step-by-step Path

We need to trace a path from 2 to 100, only stepping on numbers that are even and increasing by 2 each time.

Let’s find the correct sequence:

> 2 → 4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14 → 16 → 18 → 20 → 22 → 24 → 26 → 28 → 30 → 32 → 34 → 36 → 38 → 40 → 42 → 44 → 46 → 48 → 50 → 52 → 54 → 56 → 58 → 60 → 62 → 64 → 66 → 68 → 70 → 72 → 74 → 76 → 78 → 80 → 82 → 84 → 86 → 88 → 90 → 92 → 94 → 96 → 98 → 100

Now let’s see if all these numbers are present in the grid and form a continuous path.

🧭 Tracing the Maze

The grid is arranged in rows. Let’s go row by row and mark where the sequence appears.

#### Row 1:
- 2 ✔
- 4 ✔
- 6 ✔
- 40 ✔
- 42 ✔
- 84 ✔
- 86 ✔

So far: 2, 4, 6 → next should be 8

#### Row 2:
- 12
- 10
- 8 ✔ ← next number after 6
- 38
- 44
- 82
- 88

So: 6 → 8 ✔

Next: 10 → is in the same row (left of 8)

Wait — 8 → 10? Yes! But 10 is to the left of 8. So we can go backwards?

But the maze is not necessarily in order — it's a maze, so we have to move through adjacent circles (probably horizontally or vertically).

So we need to connect the dots in numerical order using adjacent cells.

Let’s list the positions of each number.

🔤 Let’s Assign Coordinates

Let’s label rows from top to bottom (Row 1 to Row 10), and columns from left to right (Col 1 to Col 7).

| Row | Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 | Col 5 | Col 6 | Col 7 |
|-----|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| 1 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 40 | 42 | 84 | 86 |
| 2 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 38 | 44 | 82 | 88 |
| 3 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 36 | 46 | 80 | 90 |
| 4 | 24 | 22 | 20 | 34 | 48 | 78 | 92 |
| 5 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 50 | 76 | 94 |
| 6 | 60 | 58 | 56 | 54 | 52 | 74 | 96 |
| 7 | 62 | 64 | 66 | 68 | 70 | 72 | 98 |
| 8 | 90 | 56 | 50 | 40 | 40 | 21 | ⭐100 |

Note: The last row has duplicates: two 40s, a 21, and the star at 100.

49. 98 → (7,7) → below 96 → ✔
50. 100 → Star at (8,7) → below 98 → ✔

✔ All numbers from 2 to 100 in steps of 2 are present and connected via adjacent cells.

✔ Final Answer: The path exists and is complete.

You start at 2, follow the sequence by skipping by 2, moving through adjacent circles (up/down/left/right), and end at 100 in the star.

---

🎯 How to Solve It:

1. Begin at 2.
2. Move to 4, then 6, and so on, always choosing the next even number.
3. Use adjacent circles (horizontally or vertically) to connect them.
4. Continue until you reach 100.

There are no gaps — all required numbers are present and reachable.

🌟 Summary:

- This is a skip-counting by 2s exercise.
- The maze is designed so that every even number from 2 to 100 appears exactly once (except for duplicates like 40, 50, 56, 90 — which may be distractions).
- The correct path follows the sequence:
2 → 4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → ... → 98 → 100

✔ Answer: Color or dab all the even numbers from 2 to 100 in order, moving through adjacent circles. The path leads directly to the star at 100.
