Personnel
gollark: I have no idea how you would actually storyize the maze thing. Maybe people are trapped in it. Maybe it mysteriously appears under a mountain or something.
gollark: That is them.
gollark: > Computers with infinite processing speed (supertasks) but very limited memory.
gollark: > A really, really difficult maze. It starts off relatively normal, but begins incorporating confusing transparent walls and mirrors, vertical movement, gravity manipulation, and even non-Euclidean geometry, unidirectional paths, walls shifting while you're inside, etc…
gollark: It has something like three things on it.
