    \$\begingroup\$ @DeadPossum Because I feel like it would simplify the challenge too much and make it a bit too broad. Feel free to disagree, though; if others agree with you I might change the restriction. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 13:16

    \$\begingroup\$ I agree with Pietu1998, I also feel that the restriction is highly appropriate. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 13:19

    \$\begingroup\$ @LuisMendo If it is possible to escape when the farmer turns, it's always possible for him/her to escape in a straight line. For instance, let's say the farmer is trying to escape to the right of the field. When the farmer moves one space down, some fire will spread downwards; then, the farmer's situation is the same as the initial position (plus more fire). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 16:30
