The goal here is the same as in any maze: Draw a single line from start to finish without crossing your own path. What makes this special, though, is that you'll have to use some deductive reasoning to find your way. The maze below is divided into squares; the number at the beginning of each row and column tells you exactly how many of those squares to cross through in order to correctly reach the finish. For example, the number 13 is at the starting row; this means you must cross through 13 boxes in that row once each. You may leave a row or column and return to it; once you cross through that first box, you might move down, but you would have to return to the starting row later so that you use 13 boxes before you finish the maze. No diagonal moves are allowed. Solving hint: To begin, blacken any box that you determine will not be used, and place a dot in any box that you know must be used. Note: You cannot move through any solid black lines. ***I attempted parts of this line, but got stuck. Please ignore my line as it may be wrong. This is difficult, if you master this you are brilliant***

Why don't you follow the hint in the puzzle's statement, i.e. mark the boxes. You might want to use a pencil instead of a pen to make corrections easier.
