APlayer position updates directly from 14 to 29, skipping intermediate steps

BPlayer position remains at 14 until ladder validation completes, then moves to 29

CPlayer position updates to 17, then immediately to 29 after ladder climb

DPlayer position updates to 17 and stays there; ladder effect is applied next turn

Step-by-Step Solution

Detect ladder at 17 leading to 29.
Step 3: Update player position to ladder's end
Player climbs ladder, position updates to 29 immediately.
Final Answer:
Option C -> Option C
Quick Check:

Quick Trick: Position updates twice if ladder/snake present [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Skipping intermediate position update
Delaying ladder effect to next turn
Not updating position until validation

Trap Explanation:
