" Yeah, it takes some motivated reasoning to reach the result we want here. I don't think you can rely on standard dice construction to predict the numbers on the opposite sides, since at least one of these is not a standard die, but there are... "

" Well, it may vary, depending on whether (or) not this is a buildung shape in the head. "

" The novel-within-a-novel of the book S., you mean? I started it long ago but didn't really give it a fair chance. I am NOT A FAN of J.J. Abrams and that biased me against the book before I even started it, and once I started... "

" Can you explain in more detail? "

" Reference to the Golden mean (philosophy)? "

" What do you mean? "

" Does the path above the head ring a bell? B "

" Here's what confused me: using dice logic, you can conclude that the blank side of the die is supposed to be a 4. Now the top sides of the two dice make 42, one of the other doors. And the front-facing sides clearly are 1... "

" How about that the bass and treble clefs are called the F and G clefs; these are alphanumeric to 6 and 7 which add to 13. "

" Don't have much to say about the sand yet. One of Jack's non-crazy ideas was that it was related to the hourglass image that accompanies the hidden door to 17, and I find that a compelling possibility, especially as we have, in entering that door,... "

" @Aria - re: the sand floor - the word "Amphorae" and you mentioning "the sand floor" got me thinking of the "Ampersand" symbol. After I got done using an Anagram finder (along with the letter " i " (I don’t know why I chose the... "

" Regarding: "How many [sides] does that problem have?" Does the [sides] have anything to do with “the spear side” or “distaff side”? "

" I like it! Now explain the sand floor. "

" Those are EWERs. (Approximate or effective homophone of YOUR, depending on regional pronunciation.) That's why those things are here. "

" Is it tiny? Or is that just a Really Big Shoe? Anyway, the chair is there for Willy and Woody to sit in, according to Mr Manson. "

" And what about the legs which are drooping due to gravity as well? They seem to take on the appearance of a "U" shaped outline, which I’m assuming would then take on a "V" shaped outline, if the upside down man were to straighten out... "

" Everything in the room has been used besides the chair--why is it in this room? (a pretty tiny chair too; it looks like the same size as the shoe.) "

" So after reading that incredible theory about the Mr.Yes/Top Hat dude, I think that there's definitely some reason behind each of his appearances and all of the times he indicates the right door. The trail of crowns ends early, so there's probably some strange chronological... "

" I see a ladder in Room 20 as well... hidden in the legs of the telephone table. I think it's a play on "ring" and "rung." "

" I think Vince was addressing me there, Derek, with all my “I know”s. ;-) I miss WR too! Maybe he’ll come by and say hi sometime. "

" Oh no, sorry, not you, I meant Sara. I wouldn't talk to a human being deserving of respect and understanding that way. "

" of course I don't, that's why it's fun to try to solve Maze. I wasn't trying to be mean or abusive. (I've never even heard of trefoils or the word "epistomological" before coming here) "

" It seems doubtful to me that they have a common significance--as you note, they certainly don't serve as reliable indicators of good or bad paths. I would guessssssssssss that many or most of them are just a way of changing up the means of inter-room... "

" The Abyss is absolutely the place for crackerjack theories but your epistemological carelessness is abusive toward everyone trying to have an honest conversation. You do not know these things. "

" It's difficult to prove in a simple way (at least I can't think of a simple way because I'm ignorant) but you cannot map the Maze in two dimensions without crossing lines. "

" Just an observation of mine, but there are a lot of ladders in the maze (even more than the umbrellas I think). Rooms 6, 10, 12, 28, 35, 37, 39, 41, and 43. Some of them support the concept of "higher elevation=better room", but a... "

" I wish he was still here...the first time I saw this website was in 2014 when i got Maze as a Christmas present. Back then there were much less people...and nobody knew it. "

" WR knows it "

" Do you mean his elbows making 7s and his body making the 1? Manson does draw attention to his position and arms with the "shrugging" bit. And his one arm is obscured by the table, so perhaps he is making an upside-down 17 with arm... "

" STOP SAYING "WE KNOW" ESPECIALLY IN INSANE CONTEXTS "

" Thanks, Derek! RE the name, yep, that was the idea. A little optimistic, maybe... ;-) "

" Yep. Just out of curiosity, but is your name supposed to be short for Ariadne as in the mythological girl in the Labyrinth? (Keep up the good work on MazeCast!!!) "

" Maybe it's time for a bumbershoot episode. "
