Another BASIC reflection

Maze

Here’s an aerial plan from the website dreamstime.com.  It shows the workings of a hedgerow maze in grass

Now it might look quite simple to the average person in the street, but this maze and others like it are a great aid in developing concentration skills.  So much so, the memory workshop group at BASIC in Salford has been using them as a measure of how long our concentration goes for before it slips.

The aim was to solely get around the maze – without concentration slipping.  If we got distracted, we were sent back to the start of the maze and began again.

Funny thing is i enjoyed this exercise, probably because i enjoy doing puzzles.
