Labyrinth game using parallel correlation for the movement of tracers

Abstract

A system and method of parallel correlation of tracers to enhance challenge of mastering a labyrinth or maze, where from one side the tracers are restricted in their movement by the pathway of the labyrinth; and from the other side—by the conditions of the their mutual correlation. Utilization of this method in labyrinth games makes the labyrinths more difficult and exciting.

         9 . A method of solving a labyrinth game having a labyrinth pathway having a General Direction of the Labyrinth (GDL), having a beginning and an end; a plurality of tracers aligned with and in communication with said labyrinth pathway; and a means for securing said tracers in said labyrinth pathway, wherein said means for securing said tracers includes a plurality of tracer planes, and further whereby said plurality of tracer planes being perpendicular to the GDL, and further whereby said plurality of tracer planes being held in fixed positions relative to each of said plurality of tracer planes and in alignment with the direction of the GDL, such that said fixed positions remain constant between the plurality of tracer planes along the direction of the GDL, comprising the steps of: 
 a) aligning the plurality of tracers to the labyrinth pathway;    b) moving the means for securing said tracers along the GDL until the direction of labyrinth pathway prevents further movement along the GDL;    c) relocating the plurality of tracers along the labyrinth pathway until the tracers are aligned with the labyrinth pathway such that movement along the GDL is permitted;    d) moving the means for securing said tracers along the GDL until the direction of labyrinth pathway prevents further movement along the GDL; and    e) repeating steps a-d until the labyrinth game is solved.    
     
     
         10 . The method of solving a labyrinth game having a first labyrinth pathway having a first General Direction of a Labyrinth (first GDL), having a beginning and an end, and a second General Direction of a Labyrinth (second GDL), having a beginning and an end and further having an angular orientation with respect to said first General Direction of the Labyrinth; a plurality of tracers aligned with and in communication with said labyrinth pathway; and a means for securing said tracers in said labyrinth pathway, wherein said means for securing said tracers includes a plurality of tracer planes, and further having a first operative state whereby said plurality of tracer planes being perpendicular to the first GDL, and further whereby said plurality of tracer planes being held in fixed positions relative to each of said plurality of tracer planes and in alignment with the direction of the first GDL, such that said fixed positions are equal between the plurality of tracer planes along the direction of the first GDL; and a second operative state whereby said plurality of tracer planes being perpendicular to the second GDL, and further whereby said plurality of tracer planes being held in fixed positions relative to each of said plurality of tracer planes and in alignment with the direction of the second GDL, such that said fixed positions remain constant between the plurality of tracer planes along the direction of the second GDL comprising the steps of:
