" mazecast dot com slash signing dash off The SGN(x) argument doesn't help us get 12 because it is based on a mathematical misunderstanding, x is just the generic placeholder here. Plugging in "i" doesn't help either, though it's more logical than extracting an "x". Getting... "

" I thought Woodrow Wilson was the solution to which door to take, since he was the 28th president. Therefore, door 28. You can still take door 23 from room 28 (although not the quickest path). "

" I have loved MAZE since I was a child. I think I’ve bought 4 or 5 copies over the years, as people “borrow” them and I never get them back! It’s worth the money every time. There’s always something that I missed. I’m actually awaiting... "

" Also (finally my maths degree coming in handy), the signum or sign function works a bit differently when the argument is a complex number (like the complex number i). So if we assume the lower case i being inside SGN is telling us to find... "

" Maybe the doll is just telling us to look? In any case there are three times where one thing is by itself different from other similar things. One mushroom separate from the others in the box. One door number (35) on the floor separate from... "

" Looking from the bed does the shadow of the underside of blank door and the ladder not look like it says 41? "

" I'm super new here so I might be totally on the wrong track but... could you interpret the stick of the umbrella as 1 and then its shadow and the drawing of the umbrella (both images of the original) as II so 2 which makes... "

" dont be silly! 7 has some of my favorite OTPS! the people in the upper left painting would be perfect together "

" Welllll Room 3 has STOP, POTS, a POST (holding up the sign) and a SPOT (on the sun... a sunspot?). The group complains of being "all turned around," suggesting TOPS. "

" 3 has STOP in it, 17 (inaccessible) has pots, 35 has a post, and 7 has, um... ...a picture of a field on the wall, which looks like a pretty cool "spot" to hang out in. I'm trying to see how quickly I can burn... "

" Now you may say I should have scrolled down to notice that WBMcL made the same points. But I expressed them in a PI-thier way. "

" The doorway itself is also shaped like the symbol pi. And there's a fish, a PI-scine marvel. "

" Well, if there's a handle on the other side of the door then this isn't really a problem. "

" I haven't read all 189 comments, but could the poster be a reference to the joke about the doctor and a depressed clown? "A story is told that in 1806 a man goes to visit a doctor who is acclaimed for his ability to treat... "

" I went to 26 cause on cover he wrote "Your first goal is to find the shortest route through the Maze" Fable is the shortest story right? And always brings a Lesson. Its my first hour there, english isnt my main language so I ended... "

" New MazeCast is up, folks! You know where to find it. "

" 33 has a crown, 7 has a crown, 16 has a crown, 25 has a crown. If it weren't for 35 we'd have a perfect chain of crown rooms. Could this play into 33's puzzle? "

" You had a neat thing connected it to being dead iirc- "

" It's really not that strange of a phrasing. Like, if I were swinging around an umbrella and someone said, "Whoa, you're swinging that thing like Zorro!" I don't think it would strike anyone as an odd phrasing or suggestive that Zorro swings an umbrella around.... "

" All I really have to say is that the pseudo-answer you get from the path states "like Atlas, you bear it upon your shoulders." So that means Atlas had whatever the answer is upon his shoulders and so did you. But Atlas never carried a... "

" Yes, you're right, that's what I remember too. But I can't find it! "

" I can't find it now either, but I remember WR telling us this. I don't think Manson was suggesting that the Riddle of the Maze had another intended solution; it was that he could think of another answer to the riddle. "

" Wait, where did Manson say this?? "

" I can't remember who suggested this -- someone on the Mazecast hangouts chat I think? Maybe Owen Hammer's niece or something? Anyway, I think it's a reasonable idea and should be recorded here. Manson has said that there are two possible answers to the riddle... "

" It is really very nice and generous of you to call it "analysis," Ritz! That bit IS pretty funny considering how much mileage has since been gotten out of "flagon." If only we had taken the time to consult the thesaurus! "

" "Sounds in the Maze" 22:59 - Mazecast nearly finds "flagon." I almost spat out my drink while listening to this, it was so close- I mean, it makes sense why it got swept up in other things, but in retrospect it is interesting to rewatch... "

" I've been trying to find a way to watch "Prospero's Books" -- can't even get it at the library. The labyrinth book he mentions is hard to get ahold of as well. But I was happy to have watched Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast" --... "

" This sheds a lot of light on some questions we've brought up. I don't know where to start. It's hilarious to me Manson might find pleasure in our aggrevation, haha. The last paragraph is fascinating and made me rethink his entire relationship with his fans.... "

" Well, now that Aria's responses have been released, I'm sure that'll be a hot topic "

" I'm speechless! "

" I have posted two letters from Christopher Manson on mazecast dot com (Aria's blog). "

" Room 33 + History of Maze Fandom. OK that's the topic. Let's set a time and date. "

" (cough) "

" "Introduction of ritz" "

" History of the Maze fandom "

" Re-revisiting Room 33 "

" Any requests for an upcoming MazeCast, anybody? "

" I ran the insect image by a entomology group and was told it resembled a moth. It may also be a bumblebee "

" Another clue to the correct door is in "The Riddle of the Maze" for Macintosh, where if you click on the blind man, he'll say, "It's better read from on your head." "

" A review of antique pool cues has proved me unjustified in asserting offhandedly that the staves in this room are not pool cues. When I google "antique pool cues," I see a number of sticks from the distant past that look more or less (some... "

" I just wanted to point out (me being the pointing machine that I am), that there are a total of 30 punctuation marks, which I’m sure (?) has nothing to do with finding the correct door to be 30. ? = 3 ... = 2... "

" I'm not sure that everything in the book points to something. There's stuff like the allusion to "know thyself" in Room 15, connecting the tripod to the Delphic oracle; or the suggestion of moving statues in Room 32, which were another invention of Daedalus; that,... "

" It points to the fact that this is Room 26. "

" I'm not saying it has to reference a door. I don't think it does, honestly. But everything else in this book points to *something.* It feels weird for this not to. "

" Again, I would resist the assumption that everything interesting about the book has to come back to a clue about what door to take. Some interesting things might just be there because interesting things are fun. I don't have a strong view on whether it's... "
