Let’s go with 200 steps. Since 100 are even, 100 odd we can do something like this.

100 * 2 is 200. However since the other 100 is an odd place we will subtract 100 so our final answer is 100.

Logically, you would need 200 steps exactly to reach your goal.

( 100 if this is a trick question (‘: )
