The grasshopper jumps either one block to the north, or one block to the west. He needs to reach the point that is located four blocks west and three blocks north of his current position. The grasshopper needs to avoid two dangerous intersections. The first intersection is one block west and one block north of his current position, and the second intersection is two blocks west and two blocks north of his current position. In how many ways can the grasshopper reach the desired destination?

By counting, we have;

The number of possible ways are through blocks

1) 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10

2) 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9

3) 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9

4) 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10

5) 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9

6) 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9

7) 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9

8) 15, 14, 16, 12, 11, 10

9) 12, 13, 16, 12, 11, 10

Therefore, there 9 ways the grasshopper can reach the desired destination.
