Problem

The one-way routes connecting towns $A,M,C,X,Y,$ and $Z$ are shown in the figure below(not drawn to scale).The distances in kilometers along each route are marked. Traveling along these routes, what is the shortest distance form A to Z in kilometers?

Solution 1

We can simply see that path $A \rightarrow X \rightarrow M \rightarrow Y \rightarrow C \rightarrow Z$ will give us the smallest value. Adding, $5+2+6+5+10 = \boxed{28}$. This is nice as it’s also the smallest value, solidifying our answer.
