I endeavored to find a 16 steps path in and out of the maze and found one. (If a hard wired path exists from room 17 to room 33 then the reverse path from room 33 to room 17 exists.) The step from room 33 to room 17 is a verifiable logic step and thus legitimate. I classify all steps which have specific instructions (room numbers) on the various room pages as “hard wired”. Having read the author’s comment of a 16 steps shortest path I rechecked my procedures and found each step proper and verifiable. I completed the trip from room 1 to room 45 and back to room 1 in 15 steps.
I wrote notes for future forays into the maze. I had not written any notes about the path I took to room 24 but I should have, both as a learning diary and as a record of procedures for study and possible modification. However, I awoke the next day to brightness and sunshine so I somehow escaped the dreaded room 24. I told my wife I was trapped and would never be seen again because there was no escape from the room of darkness. It is an interesting book and I set forth to determine the shortest path but ended up in room 24. My wife found a copy of the MAZE puzzle book in the charity resale shop where she volunteers and brought it to me since I enjoy solving logic puzzles. I’ve never participated in any forums nor social interaction sites so I hope I do not violate proper procedures or etiquette. This is a case of an old dog learning new tricks.
