**Can the solution bellow be applied (with small modification) to the general case of N x N? (Solution in One Note).**↵
↵
**BTW:** use dark mode for better reading.↵

As you could ( maybe ) understand, my idea is, use the fact that maximizing minimum cost path, is equivalent to maximizing all paths. Because if you maximize only a subset of paths, than is easy to show that minimum cost path changes.↵

**Btw2:**↵
I did think about adding a "virtual" row and/or column to **make matrix even by even**, and saying that values of positions are 0, so the answer will (maybe?) not be affected.↵
