He recently decided that one of his life-long goals was to get into the Guinness World Records, making a maze was the one thing he knew he could do well. Joe is a cartoonist at ToonSeum in downtown Pittsburgh. Ever since he was a child, he said that his doodles on , spread over large pieces of paper, which often turned out to be mazes that he would proudly display on his room wall. He was encouraged when he realized that while there were six maze records in the book, none of them were for hand-drawn ones. Once he knew this, he contacted the company to see if they would consider his amazing idea. The folks at the company agreed, with the exception of few conditions. The maze would have to be completely drawn by hand and at least 10 square meters (107 Square Feet). Also, to ensure that he created the entire maze solo, it had to be witnessed by least five people at regular intervals. Plus the puzzle had to be solved by someone.
Not envisioning any problems with the conditions, Joe began drawing his masterpiece on July 27th. He decided to challenge himself and use a black sharpie pen instead of using a pencil (this means, if he did something wrong, he would have to start from scratch!) Along the way, Wos also decided he wanted to take his giant maze on an international tour to showcase it to children and adults all over the world. So, he started asking for sponsors - In return for the money, he incorporated their company logo or icon into his masterpiece.
All Joe needs now is a solver!
Hopefully everything will go well. If so, Joe believes he will be able to cross 'Get Into the Guinness World Records' off his bucket list, by the end of the year.
