" Now you're just being deliberately obtuse, but whatever. My point is that you can't find a picture of a stone door with a design just like that on it. It is very unusual. So to me, that means it has a purpose, and IN MY... "

" I don't understand either why you want to see another door like this or why the outline is significant to you. If you want an upright, rectangular door or doorframe (or any other object, I suppose, since its appearance here isn't apparently meaningful) you can... "

" To say it another way, if you want your already-pi-shaped doorway to look like you meant it to be a pi, adding that outline seems to me a reasonable way to do it. "

" The raised outline. Look at it! It encloses a pi shape. If it were just a lintel on top of uprights, as I said, fine, not meant to be a pi. But it's a lintel on top of uprights with a painstakingly rendered design element... "

" I don't what you mean by "specifically outlines a pi shape." The uppercase pi is stylized in a lot of different ways, all of which are variations on what looks like an upright, rectangular doorway. "

" Seems unlikely that the door is an intentional pi symbol?! You have got to be kidding. Sure, lots of doors have lintels that protrude beyond the uprights. But show me another door with raised borders that specifically outline a pi shape like the prologue door... "

" When I turned the cover of the book to my right, I noticed what appeared to be a set of horns and a single eye within the bronze door itself. Looks as though an image of a bull's head can be seen and from which,... "

" It could be referring to a Barramundi or maybe that of a Tilapia. "

" No, but it also seems unlikely that the door is an intentional pi symbol. The uppercase pi symbol is shaped like a doorway, which means that a lot of doorways look like uppercase pi symbols, both in Maze and in real life. "

" Was looking to see if Vewatkin, would be ardent in ogling over a question that I have briefly surmised hitherto. On the Cover, the mouthed entrance depicts a pi symbol (“π”) . Could Manson have been implying (through the image of the red herring), that... "

" There's a lot to recommend Daedalus as the guide, and references like this one are the reason that the Minotaur wasn't simply assumed to be the Guide decades ago. We now have back-channel communications with Manson informing us that it's the Minotaur after all, but... "

" Manson also told us that the Guide is a liar. Is he simply lying here? Or is it a real delusion the Guide has? OR is the Minotaur in fact the architect of the House in Manson's world? Who knows. Some of us think Manson... "

" I think you're misreading the online etymology dictionary. "Oubliette" doesn't translate to "secret dungeon reachable only via trapdoor," that's just what the word means. It derives from the French word for "forget." That hat doesn't seem to be a shako. If part of the Maze... "

" Since the room is designed to look like a cage, I pictured the button summoning some kind of giant rodent. Maybe a rat? "

" Since Manson has confirmed that the Guide is the Minotaur I’m confused as to why he calls himself the architect here. In the Myths of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth it is Daedalus who designed and built the Labyrinth. "

" FINE, I'll bite. What misprint? "
