It wasn ' t , sadly . Sentencing for sexual offences was generally very low if , indeed , they were prosecuted at all such complaints were very often made to disappear through various means , and some sexual offences were regarded as much lesser offences than they are now , or were not offences at all . <| sep |> That just added to the taste . <| sep |> It works even if it ' s not officially a maze . Like , if you get lost in a confusing building or if you can ' t find a specific room and you want to make sure that you have checked everywhere on that floor . It sounds stupid but it does solve the problem where you keep not going down a particular corridor because you assume that it ' s a dead end . The most common time people would use maze solving would be when they ' re playing video games though .
