out of curiosity, how long is the maze?
Is it closer to blue or green?

I found green and blue "short" I guess. Just wondering so I can gauge my progress.

It's hard to gauge maze "length", but I would say it's more like blue than green. Don't be quick to rush through it though...MAP EVERYTHING!!! Half the journey is in getting there ;)

Black is definitely not in the same league as the Blue and Green. It's the first one that I got frustrated with.
Stick with it though, it's worth it to see the map in the open area.

Coming off the Bronze, the Black feels like a nice leisurely stroll through the park. Yeah it will take you awhile to get through things but you can take your time and relax. :lol: :lol:

Sure it is no Blue.. but I am having a good time so far with Black. It will be short lived though.. and then back to the salt mines..

my reason for coming back to the black progression forum was simply to get some advice again regarding mapping considering i shall be picking up my black tomorrow after my final final exam. I figured i might as well ask what you guys are using to map it out, and some help as to how to map it. Do i measure things in accordance to the maze itself? Do i put the maze on a paper and use a ruler?

That is basically why i had problems mapping on paper in the first place, i am so confused as to how to do it.

Gabi - there are a couple of threads devoted to advice on mapping.

May I suggest using the search function (top of the page), reading those posts, and then asking a more targeted question?
