Maze: Solve the World's Most Challenging Puzzle (1985, Henry Holt and Company) is a puzzle book written and illustrated by Christopher Manson.



Manson described the book as "not really a book", but "a building in the shape of a book . . . a maze", whereby "Each numbered page depicts a room in the maze". There are 45 rooms in the maze, each represented by a page in the book. Doors in each room lead to other rooms. With this structure established, Manson challenges readers to solve three tasks: to journey from Room #1 to Room #45 and back to Room #1 in only sixteen steps, to interpret the riddle hidden in Room #45 based on visual and verbal clues, and to find the solution to this riddle hidden along the shortest possible path found in the first task.

The cartoonist used many names, most notably Jack Masters and Flimsy Parkins. His magnum opus, Poorly Planned Comics, was a metafictional catastrophe featuring several broken fifth walls, absurd theories about MAZE and Homestuck, poignant anticlimaxes, MS Paint abstract art, and the Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.

Ogorki the Hedgehog ???


Ogluki Konserwowe the Hedgehog is an unofficial parody character of Sonic the Hedgehog, created by the Polish company Galileo 2000 to promote their food products, particularly pickles.

Ogluki is an anthropomorphic hedgehog with green quills and a beige nose and belly. He has a prominent spike protruding from the quills on top of his head. He wears white gloves and green striped shoes. His pupils are noticeably dilated.

Like Sonic and Shadow, Ogluki possesses the ability of super-speed movement and high jumps. He also seems to be able to use techniques such as the spin dash and spin jump, similar to other hedgehogs, although he hasn't actually been seen using them. While not as powerful as Sonic, he appears to have considerable physical abilities. Unlike most hedgehogs, Ogluki can breathe fire. When severely injured, he transforms into Glukon, a dragon-like form.
