Solution to Robert Abbott’s Fairly Easy Rolling-Cube Maze:Click here for a diagram of the solution. The easiest way to follow this solution is to print the diagram, place a die on Start (with the 6 on top), tip the die east onto the square that has the number 1 in it, then tip it south onto the square with the number 2, and continue to follow the numbers around until you land on Goal. The solution visits some squares more than once, so there is more than one number in those squares.There are many short alternate paths to sections of the path shown in the diagram. For example, from square number 3, instead of moving west, south, east, east, north, west, you could move south, west, north, east, east, south, west, north. That alternate path is two moves longer than the segment it replaced. Most of the alternate paths are longer, but there is one that is the same length as the segment it replaces: From square number 23, instead of moving south, south, west, west, you could move west, west, south, south.Back to the rules of the maze.
