As the great man said "once you've ruled out the impossible, whatever remains, however unlikely, must be the solution" (or something like that).smiteo wrote:well, I've mapped out every turn I can think of, and see a possible way out of the area I'm stuck in, but to no avail...

If at first you don't succeed - keep trying until your fingers cramp and then give up

Re: does "mapping" actually help?
I just wanted to add a technique I use that is completely legal. If you solve the puzzle by always keeping the puzzle number (e.g. BU00051) facing you, then you can use the number stamp as an indicator of distance. I know this may or may not be contrary or in accord with certain instructions, but it is helpful.
I also did not map the Blue. I feel like at the moment, based on my experiences with the Blue, I do not need to map the Green. I just keep it in my head.

Re: does "mapping" actually help?
i thought the instructions and rules stated that the Revomaze sign had to face upwards at all times
