HOW IT WORKS:
The object is to get from A1 to K10 in the fewest moves. The di-
rection(s) you can move from a given box is/are indicated by the
line(s) in that box. For instance, from the upper left box below,
+---+---+
| | |
| *-| * |
| |/| |
+---+---+
| | | | |
| * | * |
| |cal|
+---+---+
you can go only to the upper right box, but from the upper right
box you can go to either of the two lower boxes.
Note that only from the lower right box can you go directly back
to the upper right one.

Is it just me or have all of the mazes (1-3) so far had every other line that begins with a space (above and below each letter) been flushed left?

I have seen no other complaints so far after three mazes, so I sort of believe that it could just be my reader.

I see it fine. A lot of newsreaders think that | is a 'reply' character, and outlook probabally tries to be nice to you by left justifying it. Here's a test: | <-Flush with side | <-One space | <-Two spaces | <-Three spaces | <-Four spaces Play with your reader until you see it the way I wrote it :) --Wesley The only stupid question is the unasked question. And that's a good thing, because I hate stupid questions!
Due to a glitch in the scheduling wetware, I inadvertently posted this
the same day as the original maze. I'm reposting it now for the people
who deleted it then.
This one is short: A1-A2-A3-A4-A5-A6-A7-B7-C7-B8-C9-D10-E9-F8-G7
