A visit to the zone of mental aggravation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Mazes are a harmless way to spend some quality time in the zone of mental aggravation, which makes them so interesting to do. I have spent hours mentally moving a phantom marker through the twists and turns of mazes, only sketching the solution after being convinced that what I have found is indeed the path. This collection of mazes has kept me busy for many hours, as some of them are quite difficult. The problems are that additional restrictions are placed on the path. For example, in some cases, each location must only be visited once and in others, there is a limit on the number of locations of a specific type that can be visited. There are fifty puzzles in the collection and they are labeled from easy to difficult. Solutions to all are provided, but I never consulted them until convinced that I had arrived at the answer. In terms of difficulty, there are no true mind benders, just good solid puzzlers that test your ability to think through a logical path.
