Hey, I just bought a gel ant farm, does any one know how to catch a queen?
I live in Florida, so I want a harvester ant queen.

The ant looks like a mutaded spider more than an ant...

The cool thing is that if you put a second ant, it will finish the maze faster than the first and the third will finish faster. They follow chemical trails and the one that leads to the finish will have a stronger scent.

The ant does not know but the idea is that smarter ants know where they have been and if are in an unhappy state of ant mind will try hard to avoid familiar places.
This particular ant had never been in the maze before but somehow it made very few wasted moves to get to the last place it had not been. The odds of doing that randomly are pretty remote thus the name Einstein who never did anything random in his life except all of a sudden come up with the theory of relativity.

Proves nothing. I was hoping the ant would eliminate its previous steps. And the " finish " seems no different than the other 3 corners. It would arrive there anyway. Just looks like a trapped insect trying to get out. At least twice it tried to get out thru the ceiling.

It did eliminate many "unnecessary" steps. Most ants doing this maze don't do nearly as good as Einstein. He is in charge of my tax returns now and I do better at the Black Jack tables.

The ant is still smarter than the guy who posted this video.

You are right, it took me around 40 hours to make the maze, it only took the ant a few minutes to solve it.
