Xiao, I just found a hidden rooftop garden that looks like a maze made of vines—do you think there's a secret algorithm hiding in its branches? Let's dig into the pattern together!
Xiao
Interesting find. Vines tend to grow along the simplest paths between two points, like a minimum spanning tree. If you trace the edges of the maze, you might discover a hidden graph structure. Let's map the nodes and see if any known algorithm—perhaps a depth‑first search hidden in the pattern—shows up. I'll start recording coordinates.

That sounds like an adventure already! I can almost hear the vines whispering a secret map—let's chase those roots and see what the algorithm hides under the leaves. Bring me the coordinates, and we’ll turn this maze into a story worth telling.

Here’s a quick grid sketch to get us started. I’ll place the starting point at (0,0) and note a few key turns:
(0,0) → (0,3) → (2,3) → (2,1) → (4,1) → (4,4) → (6,4) → (6,0)
Those are the main nodes where the vines branch. If we plot those, we can run a simple depth‑first traversal to see the hidden pattern. Now, grab a pen and trace it—let's see what the algorithm whispers.
