I very much enjoyed solving that. Totally logical, and the right difficulty. Plus I love swirl patterns.

So, I see what you mean because there is only one entrance and exit; the way in is the way out. However, if we look at it as if the poor little mouse was placed right in the center and expected to find the only way out, he could totally do it. Fortunately for him, it's not even that hard.

It's cool because it has a unique solution as a pbn, but multiple solutions as a maze! (Entrance to mouse, of course. Once he finds the cheese, he eats and goes to sleep.)

Loved this - didn't see the mouse until the very end, as I worked my way in from the sides. Reminds me of my lab rat from learning theory in college - he ran straight to the center of the maze, then groomed. He didn't care about getting the cheese at all, just about the state of his fur.

Very fun solve and love the middle.
