Hey Al, I’ve been crafting a new logic puzzle that folds on itself—like a recursive maze. Ever wondered how an AI would crack it and what that says about human intuition versus pure calculation?

Here’s a bite‑size version: imagine a square grid where each tile tells you “step to the tile with the same number you just landed on.” The numbers are arranged so that every row is a mirror of the previous one, but with the middle column inverted. Your goal is to start in the top‑left corner and end up in the bottom‑right. The trick is to notice that the pattern repeats every two rows—so the path loops back on itself if you ignore the mirror trick. Once you spot that symmetry, you can collapse the maze into a single row and solve it in one go. Try it and see if the recursion feels more like a mirror than a loop!
