" Nice use of all words. Ever. "

" Your sarcastic detector needs new batteries... "

" Don’t call Aria a goober, very rude "

" Nothing gets by you, Goober. "

" Guys. It's a minnow-door! "

" And a herring is a type of fish "

" Also, you may not have noticed but a “red herring” is a term that refers to a misleading clue "

" I’ve been ruminating over the red colored fish lately, and noticed that when I put the words “red” and “fish” together (redfish) and then take away the “r” and “h” (edfis), it now sounds as though the word “edifice” (or the “head eye face”) appears.... "

" One of them knocked a wall down. "

" I guess that would make sense, since the number of letters (which is 4) multiplied by the number of sides on the STOP sign (which is 8) equals 32. As to the rho bots... I’m not quite sure what to make of that. "

" It's a warning about the robots in Room 32. "

" After the letters on the STOP sign are spelled backwards (bOTS), it becomes an acronym for bear (b) ring (O) The (T) Sun/Sign (S). This leads us to where we want to be going, which is Room 18. "

" Redidal 3: The Redidaling "

" RE (d i D) AL • 3 "

" The “obvious sign” is in the middle, between each page on the left and each page on the right. "

" That's not the least you could have said. "

" At the very least, I can say that “real”, when spelled in reverse as “laer”, is another term for what German’s refer to, as the word “bearing”. Also, the r and L (in LAER) can be interchanged with a pair of number sevens (7AE7). The... "

" It's also in the shadows, making it an "umbra ell"! "

" You can’t go through unmarked doors so you can’t go from 36 to 26 "

" What also may be worth noting, is that ELL is part of the word on UMBRELLA. B "

" Technically speaking, since the MINOTAUR is considered to be the guide/villain of the MAZE, would that in turn, attribute the reader of this book to actually be the hero, once the 16 steps of the journey have been completed? "

" It's part of the word "shoulders," spelled out a letter at a time on the return trip from 45 to 1. "

" Now that I think about it, I suppose the “ ELL “ is just one more of many reiterations found throughout the MAZE, that hints at the number 45, as well as what the REAL sign may be. B "

" The noise they hear is likely the commotion described in room 39. "

" “A sound made them all turn suddenly.” - Was wondering if this “summoning” sound that made them all turn suddenly, could be of a bell sounding knell, seeing as how there is an “ELL” (a knell) on the scroll. And because the sounds of a... "

" The black cat, is the friday 13! "

" I may have missed your other questions, but the answers are "no." "

" Thank you for answering the first of three questions, that I have posted recently. "

" Anagrams can be found in any sentence. This one was not intentional. "

" Does the “herring” on the cover page, have anything to do with the directing chair shown here? "

" The 1st and 4th word of the following sentence: “(1)*They failed to (4)*see the real sign while looking through the obvious”, when rearranged, spell out “the eyes”. Was this an intentional effect? And if so, does this also mean, that there could be other anagrams... "

" So, I found some information that may or may not appertain to the identity of the GUIDE, keeping in mind that the GUIDE is the MINOTAUR. I’m fairly certain it has absolutely nothing to do with MANSON’S original intentions, but nevertheless, I thought it would... "

" Okay, ready for a good laugh? My 11 and 12 year old are obsessed with the Maze, have been for nearly a year. II hadn’t so much as glanced at the book. I figure I’m going to cheat and just look up the answer... I... "

" The rain may be a red herring. If it can rain in Room 6, then it can also shine. But, yes, there should be more parasols due to the other rooms containing sunshine, negating any consistent rule with this interpretation. The Maze may be embracing... "

" I think it's an interesting idea, and this certainly makes sense regarding the prologue umbrella. Room 31, despite being outdoors, is not sunny, though, and there are sunnier rooms out there with no connections to umbrellas, making it difficult to apply this as a universal... "

" I was thinking the umbrella is actually a parasol and to be used to ward off the sun not rain. This coincides with the guide's dislike for the sun as has been established. The parasols were lining up with this theory as they were found... "

" Didn't see this mentioned but the text says, "...not understanding that the silences of the Maze are as eloquent as the sounds" .... which is immediately followed by the sounds of the dialogue, and in those sounds are "story," "late (tale)" and "nary (yarn)". The... "

" The bear is a signpost at a fork in the road. As you face that signpost there is but one way to go: you bear right because "right" is the "correct" way to go. As you bear right at the signpost you go through Door... "

" Woodrow Willson is also quoted as saying "The world has a habit of going on" and there is a picture of a nun's habit on the wall, therefore I think this is another clue that the answer to the riddle is "the world". "

" Where it says, “I am the architect as well as your guide” and “I will be with you all the way“; is there a connection between the "I am" and the "I will"? "

" I don't know if anybody's noticed it before, but the branches on the logs point more or less at the four incorrect doors, with none pointing anywhere near in the direction of door 23. "
