I played with it for a little while before checking the comments to confirm what I suspected. Thanks too for the great blog. I read it for the first time tonight. Good luck with the AWS challenge!

Eventually though I decided it wasn’t possible and gave up on it. Glad I did now, heh!

Still, it’s a good little story ;)

All the best,

When Mark commented I knew I couldn’t string another generation along. I should have given in a long time ago to find the solution… Some puzzles are more fun without the extra help. In this case I was clearly wrong.

Since then I am starving and already lost 3 A4 pages to that!

Bloody hell! I’ve spent a couple weeks (solid) of my life all told trying to solve something with no chance of solving it. I’ll sure let others know! Particularly friends and family I’ve infected with this little doozy.

Now, if only I knew where Larry was… I’d let him have it! :)

It’s a very well known problem and this web page explains why it can’t be done http://www.mazes.com/puzzles/5-rooms/index.htm

Sorry you wasted all those notepads!!
