You're trapped in a maze. There is a way out. Path junctions are all 3-way.
If you use the strategy of always taking the path going right, what will happen?
(Note: This problem is deliberarely vague.)

i disagree, there is no need to make any assumptions about the geometry
of the maze as a whole. ok if you want to be strict about it, it requires
that the node exits are coplanar but implies nothing of where the
exits lead. (ie the exit paths are like wires any configuration is possible)
"In any case, my central argument still stands. There is necessarily a short path to the starting node but not necessarily a short path toward the exit. "
if any node can lead anywhere, i dont see the source of this bias
"I think the problem is that you are tailoring assumptions that fit a preconceived answer. There is simply not enough information to properly frame the situation"
i assure you that i solved the problem in just the way stated, starting
from the beginning. in fact i only posted the problem because i was
surprised that a solution was possible with such data.
in response to the above: it seems you are tailoring objections to a preconceived criticism. the solution is nowhere near as far fetched or unreasonable as you point out.
