" "E L L" can be seen on the maze. E L L when added up using the alphabetical value is 5 + 12 + 12 = 29. Also, the words - split, lit, hit, fit, sit all have "it", and these letters correspond to the... "

" Absolutely!! I didn't know what to expect with a spiritual successor to Maze but it's so true to form with beautifully illustrated and creative rooms and a bounty of new puzzles- the format is almost exactly the same as Maze and someone could tell me... "

" typo notwithstanding, I speak with authority "

" Several of us have the book now. It's like it was made specifically for this crowd. This is not a false alarm; if you reading this site, you should be reading this book. "

" (Sorry, that's "*Daedalian* Depths.") "

" There's a new book out called "Daedlian Depths" that may be of interest to Mazers. It's by the same team that did "Codex Enigmatum" and its creator (Innovario/Rami Hansenne) says: "The book is inspired by Christopher Manson's "MAZE", which has fascinated me since I was... "

" Perhaps it's pretty to make it appealing to people weighing their options from Room 1. "

" Perhaps the observations made through the windows in 23 serve as a warning against going to room 19. Somehow. "

" Yeah, what Aria said is basically what I was thinking, combined between it being far away and risky. But also, room 21 is quite pretty, especially compared to 31 and 44, which are the right way to go. Just wondering if this means anything. "

" I'm not talking about what we can agree on, I'm just talking about what we know. "

" Well, I don't agree with everything you said up there... "

" "We" includes all entities except Manson. "

" What’s all this “we” business, vewatkin? "

" All very true... In a way, the loop is the most "Maze" area of Maze with the mindset we have to use to think about it... not much is certain and I suppose that's the idea "

" There exists some number of clues pointing the best way (back to 41/1)--the umbrella in 10 points toward 41, anyway, and the back of the book suggests that things pointing the way are clues. There seem to be far more clues pointing the wrong way,... "

" Very interesting, considering how much debate there is about the extent to which the rooms of The Loop have "solutions". Though I don't think that this necessarily confirms that all the rooms of The Loop have clues that direct you to the best door, as... "

" Cool, I figured it was something like that. "

" Bumping this. Manson confirmed this? Because I remember this was a big point of discussion when we were trying to figure out the loop rooms "

" There was behind-the-scenes discussion in the MazeCast hangout; I don't think anyone thought to bring it here. I don't think there's a need either. For out-of-the-loopers: a malicious, racist, homophobic poster monopolized this site for weeks, becoming so obstructive and offensive that we abandoned posting... "

" So is there a reason no one has acknowledged what just happened? "

" Curls are hair-rings. (Sorry.) "

" exactly, yes "

" Oh, I see, you deleted the comment because you accidentally posted it under your real name, which is a secret unknown to everyone except anyone who cares to know it. "

" The comment that vewatkin is replying to with that last comment was as follows: I guess it depends on what Julian means by “worst.” It’s not the farthest away from Room 41 in the Loop (that’s 16 and 36), and it’s not the most dangerous... "

" Oh, that's kind of interesting. My first thought was that 14 is worse because 2/3 of the doors lead to the Trap, but if you look at the danger involved in going from 19 all the way back to Room 1, maybe it is worse... "

" How do you mean? "

" Isn't it funny how, despite this "room" being one of the prettiest in the maze, it's actually the worst room to be in apart from the trap? "

" The Aldabra Giant Tortoise is both larger and has more pronounced points, but every tortoise species has variation in this regard, and it could well be that the artist simply looked up "tortoise" and a Galapagos tortoise - one of the best-known species - popped... "

" While I agree entirely with your idea, that pushing the button would be the right choice, you've got it backwards: the hand on the front page that was pointing the correct way was the left hand, and the one here is also a left hand. "

" MAKE THE SEQUEL ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" 2 of the 9 doors are not numbered; 29 "

" Can anyone identify a species of tortoise that looks like the one here, but is also this big? It may be that it isn't a specific kind, or that size doesn't matter to identifying it, or (most likely) the species doesn't matter, but I'm just... "

" Yeah, you're right. I don't know why I *haven't* been doing that up until now. "

" Imo the game plan should be to completely ignore all of this. All of us should completely stop responding or even acting as if the spam comments are there. If we want to talk, we can of course, just related to proposed solutions and stuff... "

" Ok, yeah! Always look on the bright side. "

" Yeah, basically the only actual harms that come from this are the spamming of people's inboxes if they have comment notifications on and the potential burying of comments we would want to refer to. "

" Eh, no one else is posting anything relevant at the moment, and at least the malicious trashpiling is transparently irrelevant, which saves a little time compared to his usual posts. "

" Well, after something like 3-5 years of nearly ruining everything, it looks like he's finally gone ahead and completely ruined everything. Guess I should have joined the site earlier. :-( "

" Please, please, please stop "

" like that rabbit who keeps stealing my cereal that's what I call some "hare"-raising information "

" New to this website. Spent months at a time as a kid figuring out the puzzles. Managed to find the path by myself, but not the riddle. Not even close. Was blown away by the sheer amount of amazingly complex discoveries that have been made... "

" ????? "

" yeah but all dogs are cool and so is vewatkin and that's the end of the story "

" But I tell ya, I tell ya, I don't get no respect, no respect at all. I said to my wife the other day, my wife, oh boy, I said, "Honey, this house has too many animals, too many animals for a proper house." She... "

" Imagine a Let's Play Maze series. And as per the convention of Let's Plays of cryptic games, the titles would all be obvious pieces of lore that the player was completely shocked at uncovering. Let's Play MAZE #582 - THE GUIDE IS EVIL! Let's Play... "
