The Maze!

[Psammead]

Hi guys!

A friend of mine emailed me a link to what is supposed to be the hardest maze to solve in the world... quite a statement, im sure you'll agree. :smack:

I've had a little go trying to solve it but to no avail, as you probably already guessed :p

Has anyone else tried solving the maze? Anyone completed it?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum or has been covered before.

Thanks.

There's a thread about it in GQ at the moment.

The maze is essentially trivial to solve if you've got any decent background in computer science. Represent it as a graph and compute the shortest path from the start to the end and then from the end to the start.

Kinda takes the fun and challenge out of it, doesn't it? Like using "God-mode" on a video game.
