Yes, yes, all right already. I must admit that I am an aerospace engineer
and not an artificial intelligence guru. When people say "maze" I get a
mental image that has an entrance on one end and an exit on the other.
The maze competition would have to define which sort of maze it is, to
inform the contestants as to whether a wall-following strategy would work.
