No... I meant that, with most maze-solving algorithms, it is assumed that the program has NO KNOWLEDGE of the end point or possible routes of the maze beforehand (it can guess that it isn't right in front but HEY!). This maze puzzle assumes full knowledge of the maze beforehand (think in terms of computer knowledge ie a map). So, you are given: 1) a MAP 2) a START point 3) an END point Most maze algorithms work on the basis of [2] and sometimes [3] but not all those three at once as a general rule.
