The Path:Step 1 - Room 1

One thing I noticed is that the wording is odd. I saw the word 'like' and the Greek lettering. I saw the tripod and the pictures of the Apple, Bottle, Cup, and Drum.

Here is my original typed thoughts: http://mazebymanson.blogspot.com/2014/06/maze-1-hells-bells.html

Here is a clear sample of following the 'clue' to the next room. Example given is room # 40.

(Another example is room 44 which has 6 doubles and two doors 21 and 18. Only 18 can be divided by 6, so it is the correct door. You have to make it "fit" as the picture on 8 stipulates.)

There are a lot of similar words in The Raven by Poe.
I see 13 of these 'double' words: Hall, Looked, Carefully, Doors, Choose, Helpfully, Doors, Door, Too, Seen, Peering, Gloom Choose.
Also, note the words that sound like numbers: 'To', 'One', 'To', 'One', 'To', 'Too' 'To', 'One' inTo'
Hmmm 13 and six times Two is heard. 13 X 2 = 26.
This solution to the path is most prevalent in the second half from 45 to 1.

F-A-B-L-E = 6 + 1 + 2 + 12 + 5 = 26!
M-A-Z-E = 13 + 1 + 26 + 5 = 45!
