Inside this maze

This honeycomb saves a consequential choice for near the finish. At column 28, row 18, the correct continuation needs only three more moves, while a wrong branch can lead 29 moves away to a dead end. Being close to the lower-right corner does not settle which opening to take. Earlier, the first fork arrives after six steps near the left edge. The full answer includes 37 junctions, 244 direction changes, and a longest same-direction run of 5 moves.

For a two-stage activity, solve normally and then inspect that late junction on an answer copy. Compare the short finishing segment with the rejected branch, including the return journey a wrong choice would require. The contrast is visible within one puzzle, without comparing difficulty labels from different sheets. With 560 hexagons to distinguish, use a full-size print when adding these annotations; leave enough space to show which shared side each pencil line actually passes through.
