Normand.... Nice work... good theorizing.....Excellent use of paper.

Even though I don't beleive this is the appropriate forum I'll throw in a
little twist.... most people believe that working form the FINISH to the START
is easier mostly because they start at the start and give up and work from the
finish..... Ie. They in truth work from both ends... This is a very common
mathmetical process.  Given condition X prove Y... Normally Math Jocks will
work in both directions and meet in the middle.  You also get to see this
Phenom. in that little word game, the one where you must change one word into
another changing only one letter at a time, I think you'll discover most people
work both ways in this game also. But only in mazes do people generally seem to
forget that they have worked through the forward half of the maze before they
start the back half.

Just My 2c
