I probably should've taken the level 12 shortcut past this level, but I wanted to beat every level. That was before I knew it was a huge, twisted, incredibly hard maze. And I'm horrible at mazes.

I managed to get the roach on my own, but I can't get to the exit. So I consulted the Room Help and saw this:



Problem: It's impossible to get to Once North from the beginning while traveling the path with the gates. It is possible to get to Once North, but not in the manner this little sniplet seems to suggest.

So, can anyone here help me? I'm just a hopeless maze-challenged guy who's confused by the instructions.

P.S. If anyone has a complete map of this level, could I see it? It would help enormously.

×The path to reach the exit is: Once North, going through both open gates, Once North Once East, going through the closed gate, Once North Twice East, again through the closed gate, Twice East, up, then down again to Twice South Twice East, then west, taking brief jaunts in the rooms above.

Oh. That's a problem caused by misinterpretation of the sentence's grammar.

What it should have meant is:

I think cchittleborough has one. You could ask him for it, but don't post it here, since it spoils L13 quite a lot.

Hmm. That still doesn't work, or maybe I'm thinking about this wrong.



And I was also wondering: Why doesn't the left-hand rule work? It's worked in every other maze I've ever seen.

Never mind. I beat Level 13 using, of all things:



Tsk, tsk, giving out false information as "Room Help". Shame on you, Mr. MOG.
