Revoing in reverse

Post by RichAE91 »

Has any one else tried resetting their mazes by navigating from the end of th maze back to the start without triggering any traps? As i've been playing with my black obsession and got a little bored of solving it normally (ive managed to do it in 40secs :D ) so i thought try going backwards through it and managed it after many attempts :D but it took me considerably longer than 40 seconds to do it in reverse closer to 3minutes i think

Hehe! Funnily enough I'm sure we mentioned this at the Gadget Show. I've never tried it, but I'm half tempted to give it a go on the Bronze.

I'll let you know how I get on. :D

In theory, you should be able to do it with the blue, black and red extremes. It can't be done in green/silver and while it's not impossible to do in bronze, you would have to cheat a little at one point...which you should never, ever do! :P

I can't think of any reason that you couldn't do the Bronze fully in reverse without cheating. Am I forgetting something?
PM me as I'm sure you can't mention it here. ;)

Upon trying it turns out that I was forgetting something and it is not possible to do the Bronze without resetting (or cheating).

Ah well.....worth a try. :D

Hmm? I believe you can actually do all of the silver in reverse. I know I've reversed over the first half and that's the only spot I can foresee problems.
OOOOOOOoo
