Though very easy, this maze is impossible to solve with a common technique that is supposed to be able to solve any maze.

The technique: trace along one wall until you reach the end.

These curvy noodles have two points in them. But is there a point to the points? Do they look like an animal? An owl maybe? Or a cat?

This simple maze was made to be easy, so includes something like a B, something like roman numeral 2, and it’s easy!

From dot to dot; it couldn't be easier!

For July 7th, this maze features seven spirals. Help the ball visit all seven spirals on its way out of the maze.

This maze features perhaps three distinct puzzles, each of which start at a black disc and end at the other.

Easy: use teleportation stations (jump to any other identical symbol) using only black noodles.

Not as easy: use red or blue noodles as well, but not both.

Harder: use teleportation stations in all three colors of noodles.

My friend Michael John Grist suggested a maze with teleportation sites.   That sounded pretty fun to me, so here is my first version.   Start at either of the large black dots and make your way to the other.  The paths cross under and over each other.  colored circles are teleportation stations.  Jump to any other same-colored circle.

The maze is pretty easy that way, so I arranged it so we can use all the teleportation stations exactly once (either coming or going) and still solve the maze.
