Rolling Block Mazes

Posting on a puzzle type is long overdue for this blog.  So, today I present Rolling Block Mazes.  Rolling Block Mazes were invented by Richard Tucker in 1998.  The idea is to move a block of specific dimensions across a grid from a specified starting location to a specified ending location.  The trick is that the block may only be rolled such that after each move, the block must rest on a face ajoining the one it had rested on before.  The block often has faces that are larger than a single square, so, in these cases, the block must have room for the longer side to land.

Here are some resources on rolling block mazes:

Enjoy!
