Simon & Lewis in a main channel Minecraft video, what year is this?

[@What-Hapen]

Their last minecraft adventure together was *three years ago*, in their Minecraft Xmas Adventure. Let that sink in.

[@kieranwilcox7739]

The best year

[@reploid123]

does he not say it anymore?

[@zaincassis2612]

Simon: Says right, goes left. EDIT: The "stick to the left" strategy does work. You're supposed to hit dead ends as you wrap around the left side. That's how it works. It only fails if the exit is hidden inside an island. Every time they hit a dead-end and were like "oh it doesn't work," hurt me.

[@michaelgreen8851]

This

[@KanadasKid]

they acknowledge in the video that the always left strategy works, when simon abandons it he says "there's clearly an island on this one", indicating he's well aware of this fact this fucker thought he could explain mazes to the class of 1912 design a maze contest winner, whatta chump

[@LochyP]

It only works on very simple mazes without loops

[@Cyrathil]

@@LochyP Yeah, technically it can work if there are cycles in the maze but the reason the 'left/right wall" trick works is you're guaranteed to (at worst) hit every intersection so you're guaranteed to eventually get to the end of the maze. But, if one of those intersections contains a cycle you'll always go in a circle and even if you decide to break out, you may end up back at the cycle.

[@its-aydonus6842]

@@Cyrathil And if you end up back at the start from left hugging, hug the opposing wall and try again.

[@jonasquinn7977]

I feel like Simon finding the exit but messing about too much to realise until Lewis shows up to point it out sums up their relationship

[@alexgator94]

[@EzioCooper]

Seeing Simon and Lewis inn minecraft is the embodiment off the "You are as beautiful as the day I lost you!" Picture

[@bogchampclips]

Need to clarify the "hug the left wall" technique, even at a dead end, you still follow the left wall, imagine your hand running along the walls, you'd just do a U-turn and continue to follow the left wall.

[@BanditLeader]

Yes but some maze designers know of the trick and so design their maze do it doesn't work. It's not that hard to prevent it

[@Khunkurisu]

This bothered me so much watching them lmao

[@Khunkurisu]

@@BanditLeader but it would've worked on every actual maze here (I don't count the obstacle courses disguised as mazes, but it worked for them too technically). They just gave up at the first dead end cause they didn't actually understand the method.

[@BanditLeader]

@@Khunkurisu no it really didn't work on all of them

[@elitegaming6354]

The joy I feel when I see Simon and Lewis playing something together is immeasurable

[@xMaugrex]

Hugging the left wall works as long as there's no islands. Hugging the left wall wont save you from hitting dead ends, you just turn around and continue hugging the left wall.

[@Imperial_Squid]

The left hug rule does work but with a few weird notes: if you come to a dead end, turn around and keep following the left hand rule (technically the rule if just to keep walking with either hand on a wall so "dead ends" don't really exist, it just means you're doing a 180 turn), it also only works for "simple mazes" (technical term, not just elitism lol) which are mazes where the walls are fully connected, if you have an island of walls that aren't connected to the rest of them the rule might not work
