I assure you it's completely possible.

I made this maze myself so no copyright stuff :D

Rules:

  • You start at the bottom right corner.
  • You end at the top left corner.
  • No going around the maze, over the maze, or under the maze.
  • No walking through walls.
  • No teleportation.

Maze:

Good luck!

If you look at it carefully enough, it's the easiest maze ever.

Normally, when one does a maze, one goes between the lines. You didn't specify this as a rule. If you begin on the black line in the lower right hand corner, and follow it, unbroken, to the upper left... it's a breeze.

    $\begingroup$ "no walking through walls"... no means no. Walking along and inside is still through. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Mazura only if the black represents the wall. If the white represents the wall, then it's compliant with the rules (though it would work better if the break between lines on the top left were on the left wall instead of the top wall) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The white cannot represent the wall, because the path starts "in the bottom right corner", which is white. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Sneftel I don't know what you're talking about; the pixels in the lowest and furthest right part of the maze are dark grey. $\endgroup$

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...

This picture actually has a white border (roughly 8px wide), with the edges defined by four points. Assuming this is part of the maze, simply follow either the left or upward paths, following one of these paths until the destination is reached.

    $\begingroup$ @nitro2k01 The confines of the maze were never stated, it's a fair assumption to assume that the image extents are the edges of the maze. $\endgroup$

I entered the maze, intrigued by the difficulty caused by the fact that the exit was blocked off by a wall. Attached to my belt, I had one less powerful grenade and two more powerful grenades. I was glad to find out that the walls were made of a less sturdy material, meaning that a grenade could easily knock down the wall. I tested the weak grenade on an unnecessary wall, and to my delight, it worked! I proceeded by using a larger grenade on the wall that was blocking the exit. Not to my delight, there was a police officer guarding the exit! I used my last grenade and ran towards the exit. I made it out of the maze successfully.

The rules can be satisfied without even entering the maze.

There's "No going around the maze", but nothing to say "The maze can't go around". So if you stand at the bottom-right corner of the maze, and rotate it 180 degress about its centre, you will end up at the top-left corner of the maze.
