the fastest path is 1, 2, 5, 8, 5, 2, 1, 4, 3, 0.
the fastest path is 1, 2, 5, 8, 5, 2, 1, 4, 3, 0.


If you need to check the "attempt to get stuck in the middle room" scenario, the path to attempt to get stuck from room 3 is: 2, 5, 4, 7, 8, 5, 4, 3, 4, the path to attempt to get stuck from room 7 is 7, 4, 5, 2, 5, 4, 7, 4, and the path to attempt to get stuck from the north room is 1, 4.  There is no way to get stuck from room 5.  There would be if the max card limit worked the way the scripts are set up by going 7, 4, 5, 4, which would cause a card overflow if you tried exiting through room 7, but doing that just gives you a fifth red card.
Paths which would result in getting stuck include:
* Stuck from west room: 2 -> 5 -> 4 -> 7 -> 8 -> 5 -> 4 -> 3 -> 4
* Stuck from south room: 7 -> 4 -> 5 -> 2 -> 5 -> 4 -> 7 -> 4

Anyway, once you reach room 0, talk to to the vidbot to stamp the document, then back away, turn left, and go forward to exit the maze.
