Ah, alas, no, no branches, so not a maze...

and if the left hand on wall theory is used, the centre for all intents and purposes does not exist as it is mathematically C to C making it a circular argument

The post was about getting out of a maze, not getting in <slaps forehead>

Put the cigar out son.

Quite amusing. No matter what you do, you end at the same destination.

Remembering, this is a logical, mathematical argument over a definition. There are no branches here, the clear distinction between a labyrinth and a maze.

Sorry but I wasn't trying to be funny but you are still wrong.
You have a branch, a single path branches into two and then recombines at the exit. This is a maze, it is a simple maze granted but still a maze.

So you think thats a branch?

Are you welsh?

A maze is technically described as having a path complicated by at least one blind alley, or having branches, or, i could carry on, but two paths joining each other isn't a branch. If you think it is, I wouldn't like to see your family tree.

To branch, is to separate.

Er! You have to get into a maze to get out don't you?

Is this a Zen thing

That matters not one jot in the context of the OP. It is about how to get out.

Okay, we'll use your definition although I think that you are making things up as you go along.
If we use your definition, what do you call the bit in the middle? Obviously not a blind alley, perhaps it is the magical non-branching warp room that takes you to the entrances and hence obviously not a blind alley.
I said, (try reading it again) that the path that leaves the centre branches into two paths, hence it is branching into two branches.
Now you said that two paths joining isn't a branch. So what are those brown woody things that join together into a single brown woody thing on trees called? It is all a matter of direction of travel. Two branches can combine into a single branch.

And what is the Welsh thing and the stuff about my family tree and hence by implication my family about? Did I insult you? No, I just showed you to be pretty categorically wrong.

If you read the OP again, you will see that it says:

If you ever go into a simply connected maze,
put your left hand on the wall, and dont take it off. This is the secret to finding the centre of the maze, and then finding your way out.

Note that he specifies entry into the maze as a precursor to getting out, so in the context of the original post, you haven't quite sussed it have you?

The middle is called the start....

Honestly, where do yuo get these folk from

The Welsh thing was a step too far; a ban is being processed. He was warned just a couple of hours ago in another thread.
