Okay here's a hint. Draw out every path and how many ways you can get to each point approaching the final spot.
It should start to look like Pascal's Triangle.

well, I posted a comment again but it disappeared.
1 + (10^1) + (10^2) + (10^3) = 1111 possible paths
That's not the answer we've been getting... I don't think that's the correct way to calculate it..
at least 80
True.. can you provide a more specific answer? :-)
I'll look again but it seems like it follows that, or close to it.
