+73 In the Reflecting Ball Game, a ball can be launched from points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in the direction shown. When a ball hits a side of rectangle $ABCD$, it bounces at a $90^{\circ}$ angle back into the playing field. The path of the ball ends when it hits corner point $A$, $B$, $C$, or $D$. The path for starting point 5 is shown in the diagram. Each of the $15$ non-overlapping squares of the playing field has an area of $2$ square centimeters. What is the length of the longest possible path for a ball launched from a starting point?
