Puzzle: pattern

How does the exhibit work?

The carpet is a maze. Follow the instructions on the carpet to escape from the maze.

What is the science behind it?

This is no ordinary maze. You can’t go up every side. There is a rule that you have to follow: you have to go from yellow to purple, to yellow to purple, and so on. We call a maze like this a logic maze.

How do you solve it? You take a good look around, you use the information you have and you solve it. You think about it logically.

This is something that you also need to be able to do to pass a maths test, for example.

Thinking logically with logic mazes

This is another logic maze. Start at IN and try to get to OUT by following this pattern: purple – yellow – blue – turquoise, purple – yellow – blue – turquoise, and so on. You can’t move diagonally.
