A puzzle for you
Am curious to see what you get (draw the 'houses' and trace the route)
She contemplated the five houses set out in row, knowing each was divided equally into nine rooms, but that only one room was destined to end her search for enlightenment.
The first house had a door on the north-eastern and south-eastern corners. Entering the first house through its north-eastern door, she passed into the next room on the north side, then into the north-western room. Having traversed each of the three northern-most rooms, she ventured southward through the west room and south-west room, then through the remaining rooms on her way to the south-eastern exit.
The second house had a door on the north-western corner, and a door on the south-eastern corner. She entered this house through the former, passing through all the western-most rooms before turning the corner and passing through all remaining southern rooms to the south-eastern exit.
The third house had but one door, on the north-western corner. She entered here, passing through all outermost rooms, and exiting.
The fourth house had a door on the north-western corner, and a door on the north-eastern corner. She entered through the north-west door, passing through all the western-most, southern-most, and eastern-most rooms, exiting through the north-eastern door.
The fifth and final house had but one door on the north-eastern corner. She entered here, traversing all the eastern-most rooms, turning the corner to continue through the southern-most rooms, turning again to continue to the west room, and finally entering the center room. It was here that she gazed upon the heavenly ladder and found enlightenment.

The solution to this riddle is the clue to a bigger puzzle, and I'm checking to see if the solution I've got is correct, if not, then it might help in solving the larger puzzle.

)The exit is on the south-eastern room, i.e. the bottom right corner. She has to pass through the three southern rooms to use that exit.
