Several things about this visual orientation are surprising. First, when we visually trace the maze the long runs or paths that lead through the maze do not follow the lines along which the algorithm constructs the maze (which remains left-right, top-bottom). Second, this feature of being diagnol is not an elaboration in the code, but instead an elegant simplification that is part of the essence of the succinct one-liner. | Several things about this visual orientation are surprising.
