No. XLII.—MAZY PROGRESS.
The diagram below is an exact reproduction of an old-fashioned maze, cut in the ground near Nottingham. It is eighteen yards square, and the black line represents the pathway, which is 535 feet in length.
The point of this convoluted path is not so much to puzzle people, as to show how much ground may be covered without diverging far from a centre, or going over the same ground twice. As we advance along the line there are no obstructions, and we find ourselves, after passing over the whole of it, on the spot whence we set out.

Mary meant to fix;
Why did Mary turn the nine
Into thirty-six?
No. XLIII.—FOR CLEVER PENCILS
Start at A, and trace these figures with one continuous line, finishing at B.
