A Maze A Week

Following black lines, get from one spot to the other.

Starting with some half heart curves, this maze developed on its own.

Which one of the three squares in not accessible from the other two?

From which square can the other two not be reached?

Following black lines, travel between discs in upper right and lower left corners.

Can you find a path from the center to the outside, traveling only in a clockwise manner?

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.

use each teleportation station exactly once to get from one black dot to the other

Fred requested a maze that has multiple layers.

For this maze, start in the top left or bottom right, where the 1/4 visible discs are located.  Wait until paths open up between the circles and make your way to the other disc.

patiently enjoy paths that connect the circles in the corners

Without leaving the safety of the shelves, get from one arrow to the other.

Help the ball in the lower right corner explore this circuit board until you get the message.

How many triangles can you visit without visiting any triangle twice?

no dead ends; explore as you like!
