This is the hardest maze, according to physicists

Cropped

A team of physicists have created what they claim is the most difficult maze ever created, using a chess pattern to create its structure. To the untrained eye, the maze looks like the most complicated snowflake. But for the puzzle enthusiasts among us, it probably looks like a challenge. The maze is constructed from a … Read more

‘World’s Toughest Maze’ Created by Scientists, But There’s an Easy Way Out

A GROUP of scientists from the UK and Switzerland have created what they claim is the most difficult maze ever designed. The team, led by physicist Felix Flicker from the University of Bristol, generated pathways called irregular repeating patterns. A group of physicists has created the toughest maze ever — and it has important implications … Read more

Do you feel dizzy? (Photo: University of Bristol) Who doesn’t love a good puzzle? Well, probably everyone who tries this one, dubbed by the scientists behind it as the “world’s most astonishingly difficult” maze. The maze, an enchanting pattern of curves and points, is inspired by a knight moving across a chessboard – and by … Read more

Physicists have created the world’s most devilishly difficult maze

Daedalus could have learned a thing or two from a team of physicists in the UK and Switzerland. They drew on principles of fractal geometry and strategic chess to create what they call the most difficult maze ever. Led by physicist Felix Flicker of the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, the group has … Read more
