I followed a link in another thread to some mazes, and came across this: http://www.logicmazes.com/alice.html (JavaScript required)
Can anyone figure out maze 8? I found several solutions, however, after perusing the source code I learned that the only valid solution is when d==1. I figured out a few things, for example, there are a few infinite loops for arbitrary values of d. The opening sequence has a few limitations, since you must avoid setting d=0. I tried working backwards, but I cannot put the opening and closing sequences together. I'm missing something. I know it is not possible to avoid hitting the red arrows, and that you must hit an equal number of red and yellow arrows ([d] must equal its starting value, 1, at the end).
The guy who designed this maze is diabolical... but that's the best way for puzzles to be

Of course, after working on it for about two hours, after asking for help in the forum, I solve it on the very next attempt.
Anyway, these puzzles are still pretty cool and I haven't solved all of them, especially the minotaur mazes.
hint for maze 8 :: You need to land on the yellow arrow pointing up and to the right when d==2. ::

yes.. that's indeed thouroughly evil.. of course I could write a solver in 15 minutes or so.. I'm just not looking forward to creating all possible transitions..
(at least it's not a fractal maze, that can be much worse)
