To solve this maze, we need to find a continuous path from the entrance to the exit.
1. Identify Start and End:
*
Start: The arrow on the right side points into the maze. This is our starting point.
*
End: The arrow at the bottom right points out of the maze. This is our destination.
2. Step-by-Step Path Finding:
Let's trace the path logically:
*
Step 1: Enter from the right side arrow. You are in a short corridor. Go
Left.
*
Step 2: You hit a wall. Turn
Up. Go up one block.
*
Step 3: Turn
Left. Go left through a long horizontal corridor that crosses almost the entire width of the maze.
*
Step 4: At the far left end of that corridor, turn
Down. Go down two blocks.
*
Step 5: Turn
Right. Go right for a short distance (about two blocks).
*
Step 6: Turn
Down. Go down three blocks. You will pass an opening on your left, but keep going straight down.
*
Step 7: Turn
Right. Go right for a long stretch across the middle-lower part of the maze.
*
Step 8: When you hit the wall on the right side area, turn
Down. Go down two blocks.
*
Step 9: Turn
Left. Go left for a short distance.
*
Step 10: Turn
Down. Go down one block.
*
Step 11: Turn
Right. Go right, passing under a vertical wall section.
*
Step 12: Turn
Down. Go down one block.
*
Step 13: Turn
Left. Go left towards the center-bottom area.
*
Step 14: Turn
Down. Go down one block into a small dead-end-looking area, but wait—look closely at the bottom structure. Actually, let's re-trace the final approach carefully.
Let's refine the final steps from Step 8 onwards to be precise:
* From Step 7 (end of the long rightward move in the lower-middle), you are near the right-center.
* Turn
Down (Step 8). Go down past a horizontal wall segment on your left.
* Turn
Left (Step 9). Go left until you hit a vertical wall.
* Turn
Down (Step 10). Go down one block.
* Turn
Right (Step 11). Go right one block.
* Turn
Down (Step 12). Go down one block.
* Turn
Left (Step 13). Go left two blocks.
* Turn
Down (Step 14). Go down one block.
* Turn
Right (Step 15). Go right four blocks. This leads you directly to the exit arrow at the bottom right.
Verification:
* Start Right -> Left -> Up -> Left (long) -> Down -> Right -> Down (long) -> Right (long) -> Down -> Left -> Down -> Right -> Down -> Left -> Down -> Right -> Exit.
This path avoids all walls and connects the start arrow to the finish arrow.
Final Answer:
The solution is a single continuous path. Here are the directions from the start (right-side arrow):
1. Go
Left
2. Go
Up
3. Go
Left (all the way to the left wall)
4. Go
Down (2 spaces)
5. Go
Right (2 spaces)
6. Go
Down (3 spaces)
7. Go
Right (across to the right side area)
8. Go
Down (2 spaces)
9. Go
Left (1 space)
10. Go
Down (1 space)
11. Go
Right (1 space)
12. Go
Down (1 space)
13. Go
Left (2 spaces)
14. Go
Down (1 space)
15. Go
Right (4 spaces) to the
Exit.
