And what’s more, they’ve made the kibble invisible so Timothy won’t know if he’s found it! Hiding it at the centre would of course be too obvious. We need to delve deep into Search Theory as expounded in Mindswap by Robert Sheckley.

Yes – you have to potentially traverse the whole maze. Also when you find the kibble you won’t KNOW that you have found the kibble. Also the maze is a metaphor but the kibble is just kibble.

That’s amazingly clever, the way Timothy has designed the maze so that your line through it ends up spelling “Jon Del Arroz”! What a promotional genius!

…but the squirrels designed the maze! Oh no! The squirrels have converged the Dragon Awards! Darn you squirrels!

What? It doesn’t say “find a route by following the current paths”

Well, that’ll teach me not to use formatting in a gag when I don’t know what it’ll do.
