#17945, "RE: General Maze help."


          

To generalize the (somewhat vague) descriptions offered above, here's something I think you should know that doesn't quite give away the keys to the kingdom.

A lot of mazes are structured such that there are two or more exits, with "paths" that lead between them, which are evident from looking in the various directions. If you are in a room, look in four directions, and see three similar descriptions and one oddball, then the oddball is likely your path. There are also, within those mazes, rooms not on the path in which you will not be able to differentiate between the exits. One more more of them will often put you back on the "path".

The nastier ones are often variants on this, where there is an in-path and out-path, separated by rooms without any discernable "path" in between.

In most of the mazes like the one you described, once you know what to "look" for, you can navigate them very quickly.

That said, I've spent an hour before trying to figure some of them out.
