Solution to Dig That!
Readers found that seven probes always suffices. Start by probing the central street at the six places marked in Figure 26. If all six probes detect a tunnel, you are done; otherwise, the rows where no tunnel was detected indicate that the tunnel was dug either one street east or one street west (but not both, since there is not sufficient length for that). To resolve this, assume the missing sections are east and probe for one of them; if it is not found, all the missing sections must be west.
