Not all walls work this way. You could end up going round and round forever if you pick a wall which is the *outside* of an isolated interior polygon, such as a simple closed rectangle.
(When I was young, I used to solve, study and create mazes.)
But then it’s not a maze you could exit. Or enter.
Any maze that has an entry and exit must be navigable by following a continuous wall.
Yes, some continuous wall, but not an *arbitrary* continuous wall (which is what your Post #19 implied by the the phrase “... a wall, left or right...”).
For example, you enter a maze and find a rectangular room in front of you that is disconnected from the rest of the maze. You enter that room and put your hand on the wall. If you follow only that wall you will just go round and round the room, both inside and outside the room.
Huh?
All I see are three VERy short dead ends.
Nah - the maze, as it has been presented so far, is FUZZY to look at.
Checkmate.
So, we finally found out, if not WHERE he is, what happened to Waldo.
