Q R S


In this maze the exits/entrances are the triple coloured bars, green, yellow and magenta. Your path is defined by the sequence of those colours; ie, if you start at the top you may only enter a cell in the order of the cyclic sequence of G-Y-M (or the reverse order if you begin from below).

The object is to complete this maze, visiting each cell at least once. While there is more than one route, the shortest routes are 31 and 34 letters. What are those routes?

Note: This has been modelled on the contribution of Chris Lusby Taylor at http://www.mathpuzzle.com/ , 26 Jul 2009.

My intention, as with the puzzle to which the link points, was to follow the colour sequence of the "triple coloured bars".

That the wording may have been misinterpreted is unfortunate but I am not about to attempt any changes.   There are certain HTML tags at Perplexus which can be considered to be "reserved words".  Scholars have access to them only within the review forum.  In the public arena any attempt to make an alteration would horrifically corrupt the display.
