When was the last time your struggled to solve a maze (or, say, find the shortest route between two stops on a roadtrip)? If only you had a bit of slime mold, or soapy milk, or carefully crafted beams of light with you. It turns out you don't have to be particularly smart to solve a maze, you just need the laws of physics on your side!
