What can Physarum polycephalum, an acellular slime mold, do according to a team of Japanese researchers?
Correct answer: Find the shortest path through a maze

jprsean
Not sure that's solving the shortest route? It just grows everywhere, then retracts the parts grown on the wrong routes.

It’s this game that can capture the human mind

Ama-zing! Call me when they can do the Find-a-Word and Jumble puzzles!

I've never seen an explanation with so many obscure words in it! When I came to read the Comments, I fully expected to see many of them saying the same, but no, so many seemed to be quite familiar with the matter! Hecky-pecky!! What a well-informed lot you all are! I feel quite chastened!

Most times if you don't know the answer, just pick the option with the longest sentence.lol

__NANDIKA_______________
against the longest option is the right one

Pete
That's a coincidence. Physarum was my "moniker" in Highschool!

jprsean, not much different to how some AI algorithms would solve it or any human IN the labyrinth with no view from the top
