Inside this maze
An extended opening winds for 29 moves before the first branch appears in the eighth ring. The maze then offers 67 junctions along its 823-step answer, within a much larger network containing 165 junctions altogether. Its longest same-direction run is 7 moves, and the route changes direction 520 times. Two paths on neighboring rings may look close on the paper while remaining separated by an unbroken circular wall.
Keep a record of the last actual fork when exploring this disc. A crossing between rings is not automatically a decision point: it may have only the passage you entered and a single way onward. When a branch fails, trace back until an unused opening exists rather than stopping at the first radial crossing. This distinction is worth practicing on the 28-ring layout because its 169 dead ends offer many opportunities to confuse a bend or ring change with a place where another choice was available.
