On the Subject of Maze Code
Is it ‘amazing’ that this telegraph has a mind of its own!? It’s transmitting nonsense!
- Interpret the signal from the flashing light as a series of cardinal directions that form a path.
- Find the only maze where the path can be traversed without passing through a wall or turning 180°.
- Set the frequency such that it corresponds to the path; the last three digits of the frequency must be:
- The ID digit of the maze.
- The start of the path.
- The end of the path.
- To change the frequency, use the arrows:
- Pressing an arrow increases/decreases the current frequency by its sensitivity, which is initially 1 Hz.
- Pressing the TX button multiplies the current sensitivity by 6.
- Pressing the TX button a fifth time resets the sensitivity back to 1 Hz and submits the currently displayed frequency.
- The frequency is displayed in base 36.
