Hi-I remember reading, somewhere, a while back, a list detailing the shortest distance one could travel and visit all continental US capitals...Does anyone know where I might find that?thxAndrew

Here you go. The order to visit the cities is given on page 394 (which is actually the second page of the document) and the distance is included with the map on page 406.I expect you to read the whole of the rest of the paper as well ;-) http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~chen/7102/TSP.pdf

Hi Matthew!Thanks!I actually found some similar stuff about "traveling salesman" puzzles but no solutions... I guess it's more complicated than I thought! That said, as I'm thinking about a virtual trip visiting all the capitals, I suppose I should consider switching to faster aircraft sometimes :)thxAndrew
