Maze of the day - Secret of room 40

I have marked the door and door number with a yellow box.
This I see. 15 in room 3 is a stretch.
There was 33, 31, 21, and 13 hidden away though.
But none of them are any real help, right?
This provides an escape from the trap.
The 4 is as clear as the letters T R A P.
The code of doubles is 8 and we have a 2 (to)
That means the answer is 4 (there is no 16, so 4 is all we have)
Why would he put a 4 in there for no reason and sneak a little door with no number.
Also, as a visual clue: 4 nails in the 6 sign.
I'm sorry, but this is a no-brainer.

A-Maze-ing

I love Maze a lot, probably more so than most. When I talked to my former English teacher, he agreed in principle to put Maze on a list of alternate books for Senior review. (They have to do one on slavery and one on war (1 or 2) and they do 4 other books, one popular, one child's, one you pick , and I forget the other one, classic tale I think. So, now I have to provide the basic description of the book and the goals in reading it.
..................How is this for the description?.........................

Maze is a puzzle to find a path between rooms that lead to a specific goal room. Along the way, one will encounter a few riddles, some anagrams, plays on words, and a guide. His words are shrouded in mystery. Perhaps he will lead you on the right path, perhaps not.

The book need not be purchased, as it is available free online at: http://archives.obs-us.com/obs/english/books/holt/books/maze/index.html. Click below:

There are three riddles to find along the suggested path. Try to find one of them.
1: Like Atlas you bear the world upon your shoulder(s).
2:Without God, the world would be a maze without a clue
3: Success. What more do you see?

Finding the right room: Starting at the prologue and one, there are visual and text clues to follow. Since it took 29 years for someone to crack the code, it would seem more fair to explain the code briefly and let you see if you can decode it properly.

The code is based on a silly little combination of several parts. It would do you well to learn all that is here.

The sentence above is a clue. Note the words: silly, little well, all (4 words with double letters) There is the word 'part' which may give direction. The third element is the word iT WOuld or simply something like they went TO the center of the room. The door could be 4 or if not available 4/2, perhaps 42 or even 8 (they looked several times at the work of art, for example) It isn't easy even with the code, but it can be done as it helped someone recently to follow the path correctly.

Don't cheat. Have fun.

(Yes, I mixed up 15 and 29 and had to go back and go to room 29 so I wasn't perfect the first attempt. This isn't part of the text for the students, just a side note to my fellow lost-in-maze friends.)
