Fun one

Tried to dive into this without diving into what's-his-name triangles, and heavily inspired by @patrick_digan's posted solution.

That was a really really difficult challenge. I ended up using @jamielaird solution as an example to copy as a learning exercise. Really great logic in that.

I made an assumption that the board is the same as on the picture. Turn out to be rather easy task or I am just being silly.

Instead of using numbers, I assigned letters. You can start in B, D, F, H, and J and then go to any of A, C, E, etc (the yellow squares). It was a little easier to keep track of versus dealing with numbers. 



From there, I made a macro which showed all the different paths that the token/piece could take



Macro output: 
From there, I totaled everything and found which start value which get you to which end value and it looks like the odds are best to end in the 2nd spot (D) if you put it in the 2nd spot (D) to start.

Interesting challenge

Once you understand Iterative Macros, it's not that hard.
