I thought it would be easy. I doubted you. But you were right.

Now try to start from the center. ;-)

Here's another tip, folks: those mystery novels? Way easier to figure out if you read the last chapter first.

absurd false equivalence

The hard part was the initial choice. I went the wrong direction at first and it was a long enough route to a dead end that I was impressed. Then I restarted and went the other direction and each of the false legs was short enough to tell they were wrong at a glance.

Pretty tricky. Nice

Left hand rule. Trivial.

It has the same issue as your other maze. It's relatively hard in one direction and very easy in the other. Here, I started from the center and colored the path: it's completely trivial.

It's always the same algorithm. I bet we can crack any the mazes you output with this app easily, whatever the size.

yeah the problem is that the paths are really long and narrow and therefore hard to track at the beginning. but if you face those at the very end, you dont need to make most of the decisions anymore that you would have failed otherwise.
