How do you find your way through a labyrinth?

Taking the left is the only way to go about it. Everyone knows that.

Follow the left wall. I learned this from a McDonald's cartoon movie that I bought as a kid. Ronald hasn't steered me wrong yet.

Make friends with an old dwarf, a giant fur monster, and a fox knight on a dog mount.

The one true answer.

Keep going until you find the phrase 'Open GL' and then search for a floating yellow smiley face. Walk into it to leave.

Don't worry about the triangles on the map (they are just rats) and ignore the tetrahedrons as they will flip you.

Dance magic, dance.

You use a ball of twine. Then you leave the girl who gave you the twine on an island. Then you go home, and your father kills himself because you didn't change the sails on your ship. Then you become king. Wait, what was the question?

One of these days I'm gonna make a labyrinth that takes a week to get through if you follow the left or right wall, but going straight and taking the first right will take you straight to the exit.

Do you mean a maze? A labyrinth is a different thing.

climb over the top. or get a chainsaw.

I look for the North Star and turn my body to a 45 degree angle perpendicular to the ground then face the direction my nose is pointing and steer clear of bears.

I found my way out of Walsall once. Still don't understand how.

I draw arrows on the ground in the direction I was going.

Actually, scratch all of the above. There's an app for everything.

I actually had to look up the difference. In Swedish we don't appear to have a word for maze, we just use "labyrint" for both labyrinth and maze. Huh.

You remind me of the babe.

What babe?

The babe with the power.

What power?

Power of voodoo.

Buddy, that right-wall only thinking is the reason you're forever stuck in this here labyrinth. You gotta cast aside those so-called principles of yours if you ever wanna get out. Go where the wind takes you, where the fresh air and sunshine await outside of this dark and depressing prison.

PS: @excitable_misunderstood_genius I love that Tracer Bullet avatar. Brings back memories.

Bah, art history classicism nonsense. Everyone knows that THE Labyrinth was multicursal, and just because a unicursal iconograph of the Labyrinth was used in art doesn't mean that it can only define the unicursal facet. Mazes are on a kid's menu, Labyrinths are hewn of stone and contain nasty beasts, wondrous treasures, and maybe a fair maiden / hunky gallant (I don't know what the love interest of a female or homosexual male classical hero they have to rescue would be called).

Well done, sir. Well done.

@redyoshi: That cartoon helped me understand how to solve mazes when I was a kid too! I just prefer the right wall because of counter-clockwise is the only proper direction.

i ask david bowie the way out!

Wait is this my left or your left?

After lots of deliberation, my answer is the left hand wall.
