The great fun about the maze is to walk about it until you are thoroughly lost and you get that little bit of a feeling that you may never ever find your way out again. Of course you will find the exit by luck, by instinct, by cheating or by some sort of assistance. A super-intelligent fictional robot like K-9 could probably find the exit without having to memorize the maze. You could get a more conventional computer to solve the problem. First it would have to be given a map of the maze, and because it cannot apply intelligence, it would have to use a purely mechanical method of exploring all the paths before coming out with the shortest route to the exit.
