#22

Please also specify the map is a full free usable rectangle, there could be objects in the middle of the playground making the snails slow down or forcing them to avoid the cell/obstacle in further episodes

#23

Are you rounding anywhere in your solution?

#24

A rather straightforward puzzle - after reading this discussion and making some assumptions that I would not have to worry about:

  • any obstacles (there are none - and, to be fair, the statement does not say there would be any, though the phrasing where a snail can go made me assume there were also places where it could not go);
  • snails occupying the same space (it is possible);
  • snails knowing their destination or simply picking a path closest to it (it is the former: snails know where to go to, so they pick the smallest path to any destination rather than any available path closest to the snail).

This puzzle should definitely have a Distances tag.
