It’s not too late to livestream Brooke Raboutou this weekend at the American Bouldering Series Youth National Championships! This week’s puzzle asked you to help Brooke get to the top of an indoor wall — like a maze. Refer to the post for the somewhat arcane rules, but here was the puzzle:

In fact, the solution above was submitted by this week’s winner, Michael. Congratulations on winning $50 from ThinkGeek! And please let me know what you think about this puzzle format. I usually bat about .500 on off-the-wall puzzle types (no pun intended), and if this seems like a good one I might put it in the hopper for use at a future date. (If you follow this puzzle, you probably know I have a soft spot in my heart for probability and strange mazes…). Thanks for playing the puzzle and don’t forget to tune in on Monday when Judd contributes the next chapter in our puzzling lives.
