    Possible lines on a grid where the dots are 1 unit apart are
    1) horizontal or vertical to an adjacent dot, length = 1
    2) diagonal (over one and up one), length = sqrt[12+12] = sqrt[2]
    3) horizontal or vertical through an adjacent dot to the one beyond, length = 2
    4) over 2 dots and up 1, or over 1 dot and up 2, length = sqrt[12+22] = sqrt[5]
    5) over 2 dots and up 2 dots, length = sqrt[22+22] = 2*sqrt[2]
