Boney Maze

Description

Boney Maze is a maze puzzle suggested by George Miller. The maze is a sphere through which a little ball moves around. There is a round hole at the bottom, through which the little ball is inserted. The ball cannot come out at that end because of a one-way trap. Therefore, one must navigate the maze and try to get the little ball out at the other end. One can follow the little ball at every step, because of the hollow boney structure of the maze. However, that same boney structure obfuscates the maze and makes it very hard to see where the little ball can go. The Maze is a sphere with a 80 mm diameter. The ball has a 10 mm diameter.

The boney structure was designed by using the nTopology Element software.
