Built in the 1780's as a monument to peace, the Brandenburg Gate is the last of the gates that entered the walled city of Berlin. Today you will all be travelling through on your path to the Final Four. However, what's the fun of a straightforward path? That wouldn't be a very fun challenge at all! As such, we've decided to jazz things up a bit.

Below you will find a link to start a timer. Once started, you will be linked to another page containing a grid of symbols. Your goal is to move from the symbol in the top-left corner to the symbol in the lower-right corner. When moving from square to square, you may move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to any square that contains either the same SHAPE or the same COLOR as the one you are currently standing on.

Here's an example:

Starting on the green square in square A1, you may move either right to the purple square in A2, the green X in A3, or diagonally to the green square in B2. Let's say we go to the purple square in A2. Now we may go either down to the green square in B2, the purple X in C2, or back to the green square in A1.

To solve the puzzle, we simply move in the following order: A1 -> A2 -> C2 -> C1 -> B1 -> B3 -> C3

Does that make sense? I hope it does.

Anyhoo, when you solve the path through the maze, you will post in that format on the form provided. Immunity will go to the player who solves the puzzle in the fewest moves, with the tiebreaker going to the player who solves it in the shortest amount of time.

When you are ready to start, HERE is the link.

If you have any questions, please ask them here.

I'm assuming we have to move one square at a time, yes?

No, you can move as many squares as you want as long as you stay on the same line.

I'm going to complain that the colors are too similar. It may just be my screen, but the grey and purple look the same.
