Problem
Mrs. Olson begins a journey at the intersection of Avenue 
and First Street in
the upper left on the attached map. She ends her journey at one of the Starbucks on
Avenue 
. There is a Starbucks on Avenue at every intersection from First Street
through Sixth Street! If Mrs. Olson walks only East and South, how many different
paths to a Starbucks on Avenue can she take? Note that Mrs. Olson may pass one
Starbucks on her way to another Starbucks farther to the East.
