" @vewatkin Yes. I guess it does seem to be fallacious, in a pooh-pooh sort of way. "

" Less facetiously: when you notice a connection (for lack of a better term) in MAZE, it is enough to share that observation without trying to hogtie it into a "solution" that tells you which door is the correct one. The questions I was trying to... "

" We've advanced since then, we can forget solutions as well. "

" Note to site administrators: The figure-8-shaped map of the Path shows Room 42 leading to Rooms 22 and 25, which it does, but 22 is marked Loop and 25 is marked Trap. It should be the other way around. "

" "They looked carefully at the bronze doors, trying to choose." - Could this be interpreted as "They looked carefully at the bear on cedar doors trying touch house?" "

" @vewatkin Sorry about that. I meant to say the shortest path. "

" There are no 16 steps to the safest path. That is not a concept present in this book. "

" Does the '16 steps to the safest path' refer to the Winding Staircase Of Masonic Initiation? "

" STOP FRAMING THINGS THIS WAY FORGET SOLUTIONS "

" Are there any other words in the book that sound vaguely like other words in some language? "

" Dis Isis knot Abuk "

" A thing that jumps out at me is that if you look at the question mark, then look up, you see the awl. Question up awl. Questionable. Don't know if there's anything to it. Maybe just that the adjacent doors are questionable. "

" Happy St. Patrick's Day! "

" Could the keystone be referring to the mini (small ) - tura stone? It does resembles the Auid wedge stone, somewhat. And I'm guessing that it isn't actually up to scale, meaning that it's a massive stone that is needed for the construction of a... "

" Within the 3 paragraphs there are 11 capital letters of " I " . If you sound it out, it says, " Elephanti(z)e ". And if you take the letter " z " and turn it clockwise, it will read " Elephanti(n)e ". Elephantine is... "

" One thing we've been working on is finding solutions on the Path that involve all wrong doors being indicated, in part because of a comment by Manson that implied this is the dominant mechanism. So how about this in Room 26: Door 38 = three... "

" @vewatkin Thanks for the constructive criticism. "

" What if by "maze" he meant "maize"? That's roughly the color of the room backgrounds. "

" It seems more likely that he is referring to the center of the maze "

" It's a good idea, but I just checked, no centaurs in the book. It's too bad, if there were even a single centaur in the book this wouldn't be a frivolously insane suggestion. "
