Always use your left hand

Wouldn't work if the maze was designed by H R Giger. You would be stuck in the middle standing on your own head.

or in a maze of twisty little passages, all different

Shouldn't that quote be over in the Speccy thread? Although I don't think it made it on to the speccy but as we're talking adventure games.

Which part of 'if you consider this to be a maze' do you fail to understand? I am guessing that you do think that was a maze, given you posted it, yes?

Mathematically it is a maze. Probably the simplest maze of it's type. The simplest maze of any kind would be a room with a door.

The fact that it isn't very difficult to solve, and only someone with the intellect of a concussed bee (admittedly that's still several levels higher than you) could get lost in it, is entirely irrelevant.

ClientCo have meeting rooms made of connected glass panels, one of which is a door. The ones up the edge are OK (limited door possibilities) but the square boxes in the middle can be challenging...

The great irony of this post, is that I have several PM's from you, asking me not to be insulting to other posters, yet you find it fine to post this? Then query my intellect?

**** a duck, talk about taking yourself too seriously.

And if you want to get your dick and out and be pissy, there is no such thing as a simple maze, the meaning, the defintion of maze dictates it to be impossible. Your first 'picture' of a maze, isn't a maze at all, and most certainly, a room with a door isn't. So maybe you should be recalibrating who amongst us has the 'intellect of a concussed bee'

Did you actually see the or did you just decide to get pissy because you have that lady time of month?

Maze:
1.
a. An intricate, usually confusing network of interconnecting pathways, as in a garden; a labyrinth.
b. A physical situation in which it is easy to get lost: a maze of bureaucratic divisions.
2. A graphic puzzle, the solution of which is an uninterrupted path through an intricate pattern of line segments from a starting point to a goal.
3. Something made up of many confused or conflicting elements; a tangle: a maze of government regulations.
tr.v. mazed, maz·ing, maz·es Chiefly Southern U.S.
1. To bewilder or astonish.
2. To stupefy; daze.

...and yes, I do expect:
a) to be benned for doing what you've done
b) this post to disappear after a very short while.

What you've done is confuse a mathematical definition with a dictionary definition. As you are clearly one of the hard of thinking, I think I'll forgive you that.

A small amount of and insults is entirely permissible. What you were picked up on was continual and insults. If you get banned, it'll be for that. You seem also to be unable to understand the fairly obvious difference between the two - hmm... more confusion. I think we're getting a pattern here.

...if you want to get your dick and out and be pissy...or did you just decide to get pissy because you have that lady time of month?

well - that's pretty conclusive.

Wow, the smileys, the height of intellect. I know you're a man, it was meant as an analogy....

Please, edify me, what is the mathematical defintion of a maze then, oh great one. You see, given my area of expertise, I have a great knowledge of maths, and especially the links between mazes and networks (how they are actually solved). Your 'simple' maze, is effectively a straight line in Maths e.g. A is the start, B is the door and C the exit. It isn't a maze, as there are no choices to make, so it isn't A-B-C, it is actually A-C as there is no decision to make.

Mathematically, you have not given me a maze, you have given me a straight line.

But, of course, I am the dunce here aren't I...

Too funny for words...

So to describe the maz mathematically, would be A----B----C

But as it doesnt matter what way you turn at B, it isn't a node, so logically, it is A---C

Yep.
