![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/QuD9d.jpg) Ive loved mazes since, well forever and have even gone to some real life corn mazes and indoor ones, (which are so fun.) Basically what this thread will be is to post your own mazes or ones that you found online. You dont have to post the correct way to go, but it might be nice if its a larger maze and its spoilered. Lets try to keep this as picture friendly as the SFW pictures thread. Gogo! ill start off with a small one in classic paint. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/DClIb.png) | ||

Raced to see who finished first, you had to get to like 4 towers to stamp your card then get to the exit. This maze had bridges that arced over other portions of the maze, so kinda had 2 dimensions to it. Was one of the funnest half-hours ever. (ya i ended up winning ^^) haha nice, yeah real mazes are so kickass. but if you cant see over the boundaries its actually kinda scary when you realize you're lost ): | ||

So you can see the general idea of where you should be going. Mazes where you absolutely can't see the layout at all can get annoying, as a lot of luck comes into play. | ||

The biggest one I went to that I can remember is the Wandiligong Maze near Bright: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Wandiligong_maze.jpg) Can see it here on Google maps. This one was a lot of fun because you couldn't cheat like some of the smaller ones. The hedges were huge. It did have 2 towers in the center (you can see them in the photo) that let you see the whole layout of the maze. Getting to the center was a big enough challenge for a little kid though =] The one I went to in Canberra looks like it doesn't exist any more according to Google Maps which is a little bit sad. I couldn't even find any pictures of it =[ | ||

I have a maze blog: http://mazeblog-tjg92.blogspot.com/ And a DeviantArt page with lots of hand drawn mazes: http://tjg92.deviantart.com/ I've been drawing mazes since I was really young, some of the ones on the DeviantArt page were drawn when I was 11 or so lol. You can see how I've improved. | ||

It had to be said. But no, really, I had no idea mazes were such a keen interest for some people. Some of these mazes look so damn difficult, too! Entire circuitboards in my brain just shut down as soon as I look at them. And tjg92, wow. The fact that you drew those mazes by hand is just awesome. I want to commission you to do and entire wall of my house like that. Seriously how badass would that be? As for IRL mazes, my wife and I go to this one every Halloween: http://www.washingtonfarms.net/seasons/corn/index.htm but I couldn't find an actual picture of it. It's pretty fun. I usually drink a little before hand, keep my right hand on the wall, and enjoy my stroll. Good times all around. | ||

On March 24 2011 16:54 HawaiianPig wrote: Nope. There are a few design techniques you can use to stop that. For example, if the exit is in the center of the maze somewhere you can have the walls surrounding it not touch the walls that come from the entrance, causing people that try that method to wander around forever. Personally, though, I always just follow my instincts when I'm solving mazes and it works better for me than picking a wall to follow (and it's more fun).Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you complete any maze by just picking a wall and hugging it? | ||

To make a good hedge maze it has to have 3D elements to it, otherwise you can use a simple left hand rule and solve it. edit: it was the largest when I was there years and years ago, probably a bigger one now, I'll track down the name of it. edit2: I'm fairly certain it's the one in the OP's picture, I remember the tower overlooking the spiral, and the way those bridges are constructed. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/aahUJ.jpg) Just a very quick maze I drew (ran out of room ). I've always loved to draw mazes, and would usually decorate my test papers with them if I finished early :pSome really cool ones in here! edit: lol it's so easy xD Also, I used to draw mazes like the one in the OP, with curves- but I decided that straight lines were cooler :p edit2: alright, gonna spend tonight making a decent one!! | ||

You'd have to figure out a way to make the lines all nice and uniform, though. I imagine it would a true pain in the ass to actually execute. | ||

Then you'd have to fight a boss after each maze, which I counted as a stage, + I made a shop inside each maze where my friends could buy items to upgrade their stuff, it was soooooooo fun. Nostalgia feeling FTW. Ahhh, this brings back memories of good ol' childhood creativity. | ||

He said he didn't have any more experience or interest in mazes than the rest of us but he did them extremely quickly. Personally I don't really find an IQ of 150 to be all that impressive. In fact anyone who claims to have an IQ over 132-136 doesn't understand how IQ tests work. After your about 132-136 any higher that is mostly going to depend on your mood and the test. Once you hit that mark you could test anywhere from 132-190 depending on the variables mentioned. As for that dude who had a high IQ it makes sense really. I find many people I know including myself solve 'difficult' mazes very quickly. All you need to do is blast through every possible route favoring those which seem most probable. The only real skill you need is the ability to go through the possible routes very fast. Not that difficult. Also you I find I need to be able to have the entire maze in my field of view or I can't do anything I'm just insta-stumped. | ||

(but they make sure to let you know that it was a choice) | ||
