Talk:Maze: Solve the World's Most Challenging Puzzle

message: Admittedly I myself has recently cotributed a small part of this so I hope I don't sound hypocritical bringing this up.  Unless there is DEFINITE evidence that one can find in the book that the Narrator is indeed the Minotaur, the Minotaur section should be removed.  And even if this isn't original research then without any evidence it becomes conjecture/speculation which should still be removed. -WarthogDemon 22:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm expressing some concerns about the notability of this book.  Please review Wikipedia's section on notability and add some information to reinforce the relevancy of this book.  While Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia subject to the same spatial concerns, it is also not a collection of indiscriminate information.  -Todd(Talk-Contribs) 06:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:MAZE Manson.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: While there is certainly a good deal of credible analysis - I think it is important to establish whether these are the official answers - or that such answers indeed do exist or, at least, have been inquired after 140.139.35.250 (talk) 13:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  The solutions given seem plausible enough, but w/o some reference they are clearly original research, which is verboten.Pirchlogan (talk) 20:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm actually curious to see if there are any solutions besides the one posted that requires the use of the secret door from room 29 to room 17.  Room 17 seems to be the only room that directly leads to room 45, and no rooms seem to directly lead to room 17.  Is there any possible way to solve this puzzle that does NOT use some kind of secret passage (i.e. unlabeled door)? - Zach, the guy with no wikipedia account.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.104.252.90 (talk) 19:02, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Are what the official solutions? None are posted on the Wiki page. The websites IntoTheAbyss.net and Mazecast.com both offer user submitted solutions to both the book itself and room-level puzzles. I am not confident Wikipedia is the venue to be discussing such "spoilers", unless it is in the context of the history of the contest. I have seen other Wiki pages go off onto tangents and drawn attention to themselves as to what is pertinent to a Wiki, so although a lot of material could be added on the contest, I cannot help but imagine it will bring the ire of stricter editors on this site.
