Path of given length in a rectangle
$begingroup$
I'm trying to make a path of given length in a rectangle divided onto $ncdot m$ nodes.
$n=2, m=5$ rectangle looks like this:
. . . . .
. . . . .
And I can cut out of any node. (I can move only vertically or horizontally and I need to get from the top left corner to the bottom right one in $k$ steps). Solution for $k=8$ is this:
. # . . .
. . . # .
My questions are:
1) Which lengths $k$ are possible in $ncdot m$ rectangle?
2) How can I find these routes/which nodes do I cut out?
