I was thinkink about it. Does anyone of you know a blind person? Those ppl got a better touch sense than most of us so maybe they can solve revomaze easily? We should try it hahaha

I love this idea! I'm going to see if I can do some research in this area.

I had Emma on this a while back - suggested if they had some extra Obsessions floating around I could approach some of the kids/adults at our local branch (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) ... but then she moved on.

Wouldn't it be kind of hard to know when the dots are lined up?

So here's my question, to solve one of these puzzles is it just touch or isn't there some logic required as well?

It is very probable that a blind person would be good at feeling the puzzle, but if they're not a good problem solver they would be just as stuck as someone who isn't blind and also not a good problem solver.

I feel like the advantage would be slim. However, mine haven't come in the mail yet so I have no idea.

you are totally right. it takes a rather logical person to open these, however when people say you get the feel of a revomaze, they mean exactly that. I describe it to people as: pretend you wake to find yourself in an unfamiliar catacomb; no light. it would requrire you to use an extreme amount of caution and be super aware of your sense of feel to discover your way out.

While the blue is a doable by a explorer,
the green is for spelunker; The bronze is for investigators, the silver for the likes of Indiana Jones; The Gold, maybe Laura Croft...

Mmmmmmmm... Laura croft! Although I bet opening the gold will drive all of us to the brink of insanity! Can't wait! :twisted:
