The orange Dool-'o'-rinth   . . . . . 'simple'

There are six colors of progressive difficulty levels :
easy yellow . . . . . simple orange . . . . . silly green . . . . . complex blue . . . . . crazy red . . . . . terrible black .

To quote a fellow collector friend of mine : "..... maybe they rate by # of dead-ends? Distinct passages? Total solutions (fewer = harder)? Length of solution passage, or number of turns or backtracks involved?"

    “Puzzle solving is an art and a science, which involves the organization of patience and
  perserverence, within the framework of simplistic logic influences,
~ with a dab of intuitiveness and a slice of luck ~
for the purpose of effecting and augmenting creativity within an expressive matrix of  
    imagination and three-dimensional spatial stimuli .”
